Torre Blanca, Historical watchtower in Fuengirola, Spain
The Torre Blanca stands on a hilltop near the N-340 road, featuring a horseshoe-shaped structure with two floors and a rooftop terrace.
Originally constructed in 1765, the tower served as part of an extensive network of coastal defense structures to protect against naval invasions from North Africa.
The tower represents the architectural evolution of Spanish coastal fortifications, transitioning from Moorish designs to later Christian military engineering principles.
The structure was relocated from its initial position in the 1960s due to road expansion, and now stands next to the Osborne Bull landmark.
The entrance to the original tower was positioned six meters above ground level, requiring soldiers to use rope ladders for access and defense.
