Torre de Bonança, Defensive tower in Sant Joan d'Alacant, Spain.
The Torre de Bonança features a square base with three levels and residential structures attached to two of its four sides.
Built in the 16th century, this defensive tower was supervised by Jerónimo Arrufat under King Felipe II's administration of coastal fortifications in 1553.
The Pascual de Bonanza family, originally from Vizcaya Valley, settled in Alicante during the Christian conquest and maintained strong connections with King Jaime I.
The tower stands surrounded by citrus orchards, pine trees, cypresses, araucarias, carob trees, yucca plants, and palm trees in a maintained garden setting.
The family crest displays a walking lamb on a green field, carrying a white flag with a cross similar to the Montesa cross.
