Torre de sa Punta de la Gavina
Torre de sa Punta de la Gavina, Coastal watchtower in Porto-salè, Formentera, Spain
The circular defensive structure features two distinct levels, including a main chamber with a hemispherical vault and a ground floor containing storage spaces.
Built in 1763, this tower belongs to a network of coastal fortifications constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries across the Balearic Islands.
The tower stands as a testament to maritime defensive architecture and has received national recognition as a cultural heritage site of Spain.
The ground level includes a magazine in the southern section, while the upper chamber contains the main entrance facing northeast.
The structure maintains its original limestone and sandstone composition, with clear distinctions between restored sections and historical elements.
