Àguiles Tower, Defensive tower in La Albufereta, Alicante, Spain
The Torre de les Àguiles stands as a three-level prismatic structure with a distinctive turret, offering views across the surrounding Mediterranean landscape.
Built between the 16th and 17th centuries, this tower formed part of a network of twenty coastal fortifications designed to protect against Berber naval attacks.
The Spanish government designated Torre de les Àguiles as a Cultural Heritage Asset in 1997, alongside other Torres de la Huerta fortifications in Alicante.
Located between Calles Virgilio and Horacio, the tower sits on a 2,800-square-meter plot near the Playa de San Juan golf course and local markets.
The property combines historical fortification with modern residential features, including a 400-square-meter house, pine forest, and swimming pool on the grounds.
