Torre de Ses Portes, Defense watchtower in Sant Francesc de s'Estany, Spain.
The circular stone tower rises prominently near the sea, featuring a domed turret and smooth limestone walls that taper towards the summit.
Built in the late 16th century, this coastal defense structure protected the valuable salt flats of Ses Salines from frequent pirate raids.
The tower represents Mediterranean maritime defense architecture, with its strategic position overlooking the passage between Ibiza and Formentera islands.
Visitors can reach the tower via a sandy path between Es Cavallet beach and the salt ponds of Ses Salines Natural Park.
The interior contains a deep cistern designed to store water during sieges, alongside a dog-legged passage system for enhanced protection.
