La Rocco Tower
La Rocco Tower is a defensive tower located on Jersey that stands on a rocky outcrop by the coast. The structure offers views over the sea and surrounding landscape, with interior spaces that reveal details about the island's maritime heritage.
The tower was built in the 16th century to defend Jersey's coast against invasion. It was part of a network of fortifications that reflected the island's strategic importance along the shipping route between France and England.
The tower sits on a rock and is difficult to reach at high tide; check tidal conditions before visiting. Sturdy footwear is recommended, and the path to the tower can be slippery, especially after rain.
The rocks on which the tower stands are only accessible at low tide, creating an ever-changing landscape. This natural barrier protected the tower over centuries and made it an ideal defensive position.
