Torre Ladrones, Historical watchtower in Puerto de Cabopino, Marbella, Spain.
The stone tower rises 15 meters above sea level near Artola dunes, making it the tallest watchtower on the Malaga coast.
Built during Arab rule, the structure became part of a defensive network after the Catholic Monarchs conquered the Kingdom of Granada.
The tower received recognition as a Cultural Interest Monument in 1985, preserving its role in Mediterranean maritime defense history.
Visitors can access the three interior rooms and climb to the housetop for views of the Mediterranean Sea and Marbella coastline.
The strategic placement between coastal watchtowers allowed signals to travel rapidly along the shore when North African ships approached.
