Torre del Rei, Coastal defense tower in Oropesa del Mar, Spain.
The Torre del Rei stands as a square fortification measuring 17.40 meters on each side with thick stone walls near the Mediterranean Sea.
King Ferdinand I of Aragon authorized the construction of this defensive structure in 1413 to protect the coast from Barbary pirate attacks.
The tower represents the medieval defense system of the Valencian coast, serving as a watchtower and refuge for local inhabitants.
Visitors can access guided tours from Tuesday to Saturday during summer months between 6:00 PM and 9:00 PM through the local tourism office.
The fortress contains internal staircases built within its 4-meter-thick walls, connecting different levels through a secure passage system.
