Torre Punta del Cavall

The Torre Punta del Cavall, also known as the Torre de les Caletes, is a historic defensive structure dating from the sixteenth century. It stands on the Punta de las Caletas headland within the municipality of Benidorm in the province of Alicante, just a few meters above sea level. It is built of irregular masonry coated with lime mortar. The tower-shaped structure originally had a conical footprint about eight meters in diameter. Today only the massive base survives, standing roughly seven meters high. The upper section, which was once intended for the guards, is missing. You can visit the ruin as a reminder of the area's coastal history.
