Torre Bermeja, Benalmádena

The cylindrical stone structure rises 10 meters high with a 3-meter diameter, featuring characteristic red tones that influenced its name Torre Bermeja.

Built during the Nasrid period in the 14th century, the tower underwent reconstruction in 1567 by mason Pedro de la Chica to strengthen its defensive capabilities.

The tower represents part of a network of coastal fortifications that protected Spanish territories through a system of smoke and fire signals.

Located near the Benalmádena Marina entrance, the tower stands in a garden area, offering visitors an examination of medieval military architecture.

The structure contains two horizontal decorative bands, one made of brick and another of stonework, which crown the parapet of the tower.
