Leaning Tower

The "Ladeada" Tower is a Christian construction dating from after the Reconquest, with a truncated cone shape, 10 metres high and 23 metres in perimeter. It is made of limestone masonry, and although it is plastered on the outside, it is believed that the plastering dates from the 16th century. The tower has a solid base, a brick vault on the first floor, and two windows: one to the north and the other facing the sea. It has an 18º inclination due to shallow foundations on the sand of the beach, which is affected by tides and strong winds. It is also known as the "portichuelo" tower.
