Torre Quebrada, Fortified tower in Benalmádena, Spain
The stone-built circular watchtower stands 7.23 meters tall with a diameter of 5.60 meters on a steep hill overlooking the Mediterranean Sea.
Originally mentioned in 1497 ordinances, the tower underwent reconstruction in 1504 by mason Cristóbal de la Parra following deterioration between the 15th and 16th centuries.
The structure belongs to a network of coastal watchtowers that communicated through fire and smoke signals to alert nearby settlements of approaching enemy vessels.
The interior contains a small room of 2.52 meters in diameter covered by a brick vault, with exterior walls measuring 0.28 meters in thickness.
Two watchmen were historically stationed at the tower, each receiving a daily wage of 25 maravedíes to maintain constant surveillance of the Alborán Sea.
