Torre Punta del Cavall
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.
The tower is recognized locally as a connection point to Benidorm's maritime past and serves visitors interested in coastal heritage. People value this structure for representing the historical relationship between the town and the sea.
The tower is located near Hospital IMED Levante and is accessible via local pathways with free parking nearby. You can visit year-round, making it convenient for those wanting to experience local history at a relaxed pace.
Evidence on the upper terrace suggests cannons once stood there to defend against attackers. This military setup reveals how seriously coastal residents took the maritime threat.
