Ansaldo Tower, Military heritage museum in Sant Joan d'Alacant, Spain.
The Ansaldo Tower features a massive ground floor with a manual staircase, reinforced stone corners, and multiple loopholes positioned across all facades.
The Ansaldo family, merchants from Genoa, settled in Alicante during the 13th century reconquest and established their estate with extensive agricultural operations.
The tower includes a hermitage decorated with paintings depicting divine justice, theological virtues, and angels, reflecting the religious elements of Spanish heritage.
Visitors can explore the tower from Monday through Thursday between 5:00 PM and 8:30 PM, accessing both the ground floor and upper level.
The semi-basement contains a wine cellar that represents the estate's past focus on wine production and exportation during its commercial peak.
