Torre Atalaya del Peñón

The Torre Atalaya del Peñón stands on an elevated position along the Mediterranean coast, featuring robust walls and strategic observation points for maritime surveillance.

The tower was constructed as part of an extensive network of coastal defense structures designed to protect Spanish shores from maritime invasions during previous centuries.

This defensive structure represents the architectural expertise of Spanish coastal fortifications and maintains official recognition as a cultural heritage monument.

Visitors can reach the watchtower through marked paths in Mojácar, where informational panels explain the structure's historical significance and defensive purposes.

The tower functions as a key component in the chain of coastal vigilance towers, enabling direct visual communication with neighboring defensive structures.
