Torre del Puerco, 16th-century watchtower in Chiclana de la Frontera, Spain.
The Torre del Puerco stands 7 meters tall with a circular base structure, constructed using ancient Roman bricks and tiles near La Barrosa beach.
During the Peninsular War in 1811, the tower witnessed the Battle of Chiclana between Anglo-Spanish forces and French troops attempting to break the siege of Cadiz.
The tower represents a network of coastal watchtowers built along Spanish shores to protect against pirates and monitor tuna fish movements.
Visitors can access the tower through Novo Sancti Petri neighborhood or via a paved ramp connecting directly from the beach area.
Archaeological excavations near the tower at Loma del Puerco revealed prehistoric burial sites and Roman structures dating back to ancient times.
