Torre Sarrió, 16th century defensive tower in Alicante, Spain.
The Sarrió Tower features a square base with a prismatic structure rising from a truncated pyramidal plinth, incorporating stone masonry walls and corner blocks.
Built in 1594, the tower served as protection against Berber raids on the Alicante coast, forming part of a network of defensive structures in the agricultural region.
The tower complex includes an interpretation center dedicated to educating visitors about the historical watchtowers and agricultural traditions of Alicante's countryside.
Located within Carolina Pascual Square, the tower occupies 5,025 square meters and underwent restoration in 2021 with an investment of 604,686 euros.
An inscription carved into one of the tower's stone blocks confirms its construction date of 1594, making it a documented example of 16th-century defensive architecture.
