Torre del Verger, 16th-century watchtower in Banyalbufar, Spain

The Torre del Verger is a circular stone tower standing 150 meters above sea level on Mallorca's western coast. The structure features thick stone walls and offers views across the Mediterranean Sea and the surrounding shoreline.

After pirates raided Banyalbufar in 1542 and 1546, the Gran i General Consell resolved in 1579 to build a watchtower in the parish; it was standing by 1597. In 1715 it was the first to sight the Bourbon fleet of General d'Asfeld. Archduke Ludwig Salvator bought it in 1875, and the Consell de Mallorca restored it in 2020.

The tower holds protected monument status within Spain's architectural heritage system, reflecting how coastal communities valued their defenses. Visitors can see in its solid construction how seriously people took threats to their safety along the shore.

The tower stands about 50 metres from the MA-10 road linking Banyalbufar and Estellencs. A path leads to it from the nearby viewpoint, and an internal staircase climbs to the open platform. The seaward parapet is only half-height, while the landward wall is built high with arrow slits.

The structure retains its original circular design with thick stone walls that allowed defenders to watch the coastline in all directions. This building approach gave watchers nearly 360 degrees of visibility across the sea.
