Torre Villa García, Medieval defensive tower in Alicante, Spain.
Torre Villa García stands as a rectangular stone structure with three levels, featuring thick defensive walls and minimal exterior openings for protection purposes.
The tower was constructed during the 16th century to defend against Barbary pirate raids along the Mediterranean coast of Alicante province.
Noble families and wealthy merchants built these towers as symbols of their economic status while providing protection for local agricultural activities.
The tower maintains its original architectural elements, including defensive walls, making it an example of preserved medieval Christian military architecture.
The structure forms part of a network of 22 historical defensive towers across Alicante's agricultural region, with 19 remaining today.
