Es Forti, Defensive tower in Santanyí, Spain.

The Torre de Cala Llonga stands as a circular stone structure on the Spanish coastline, featuring thick walls and strategic defensive positions throughout its design.

The tower originated during the 16th century when Spanish coastal regions required protection against frequent attacks from North African pirates and Ottoman forces.

This defensive structure holds the designation of Bien de Interés Cultural, integrating it into Spain's national registry of protected historical monuments.

Visitors can access the tower via marked paths from Santanyí, with guided tours available during regular opening hours from March through October.

The tower's position at coordinates 39.36683, 3.233829 allows direct observation of three different bays along the Mallorcan coast.
