Torre de sa Punta Prima, Historic watchtower in Formentera, Spain.
The cylindrical stone tower stands on the southeastern coast of Formentera, featuring thick walls and strategic positioning for surveillance of Mediterranean waters.
This defensive structure was constructed as part of a network of coastal towers designed to protect Formentera from frequent pirate raids in past centuries.
The tower represents a significant example of military architecture and has earned the designation of Asset of Cultural Interest in Spanish heritage classification.
Visitors can access the tower by following the coastal path from Es Pujols, with the structure visible from several kilometers due to its elevated position.
The tower's position at coordinates 38.7229, 1.470709 made it an essential communication point between Formentera and neighboring Mediterranean islands through signal fires.
