Torre de la Móra

The circular stone tower measures 4.20 meters in internal diameter with walls 1.50 meters thick and features three square gun ports facing south, east, and west.

The construction contract from 1562 indicates the tower was built as a response to Moorish pirate activities along the Mediterranean coast during the 16th century.

This National Heritage Site represents the communal effort of Tamarit inhabitants, distinguishing it from other private towers of the same period in the region.

The tower stands on a rocky promontory called Punta de la Mora, surrounded by residential developments and a camping area, with modern exterior stairs for access.

The structure contains a dome-vaulted first floor with a square communication opening and maintains its original wooden beams under the terrace level.
