Torre de Navidad

Torre de Navidad, Hexagonal defensive tower in Cartagena, Spain

The Torre de Navidad is a hexagonal tower next to the Fuerte de Navidad, on the western side of Cartagena's port. Its plan is similar to that of the Torre de Santa Elena in La Azohía, and it possibly dates from the 16th century. The tower stands beside the neoclassical fort, whose seaward facades are built of large stone blocks.

The Torre de Navidad is a hexagonal structure, possibly built in the 16th century, with a layout similar to the Torre de Santa Elena in La Azohía. It stands beside the Fuerte de Navidad, a neoclassical fort erected in 1860 on an 18th-century barbette battery designed by military engineer Esteban de Panón. The fort cost 341,385.89 pesetas and was built with large stone blocks, featuring casemates and barbette positions for artillery.

The Torre de Navidad is a hexagonal structure, possibly built in the 16th century, whose layout resembles the Torre de Santa Elena in La Azohía. It stands beside the later Fuerte de Navidad, and the two are now part of the Cartagena Puerto de Culturas route, visited by boat from the city.

The entrance is through Pasaje Espalmador, and the site is accessible for wheelchair users. The building has several levels connected by stairs, so sturdy footwear makes moving around more comfortable.

The Torre de Navidad is a hexagonal structure, possibly built in the 16th century, whose plan resembles that of the Torre de Santa Elena in La Azohía. It stands beside the later Fuerte de Navidad, a neoclassical battery raised on an earlier 1740 barbette position, so the two works are often seen together at the harbor mouth.
