Torre Punta del Cavall, Fortified tower in Benidorm, Spain.

Torre Punta del Cavall is a fortified tower in Benidorm with a truncated conical shape standing approximately seven meters high. The base measures around eight meters in diameter and features irregular stone construction held together with lime mortar.

Built around 1600, the tower served as a lookout post against pirates and enemy ships on the Mediterranean. The structure was part of a coastal defense system during a period of frequent maritime raids.

Locals know the tower by several names: Torre de les Caletes, Torre Punta del Cavall and Seguró, after the point of Les Caletes where it stands. Its solid masonry base, plastered with lime mortar, is what remains of a watchmen's post that once crowned it, like neighbouring towers along this coast.

The tower stands at Punta de les Caletes, a low rocky point reached on foot along the Benidorm coastline; there is no road access to the structure itself. Only the solid base, about seven metres high, survives, so the former watchmen's chamber can no longer be entered. The surrounding ground is uneven and exposed, with no facilities or shade.

The watchmen's chamber that once crowned the tower has disappeared; only the solid base, about seven metres high, survives. The whole lower shaft is filled masonry, so the room where lookouts stayed stood on top of this mass, as at neighbouring towers along the Benidorm coast.
