Leaning Tower

Description

Also known as Portichuelo, it was built in the 16th century and is a leaning tower (hence its name). It is characterised by being made of masonry and lime mortar, with a truncated cone shape and a height of 10 metres. Like the other towers, it had a defensive function to watch over and prevent invasions. It has two windows, one facing north as access to the tower and the other facing the sea.
