Es Savinar tower

Monuments | Sant Josep de sa Talaia

It is located inside the Natural Reserve of Cala d'Hort, hanging on a cliff, in front of the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell. It was completed in 1756 and, although it was designed as an artillery tower, it never housed cannons, limiting itself to serve as a watchtower. Es savinar is the only tower that retains its original door at the top entrance, accessible via a ramp. The nickname Torre del Pirata was given to it by the writer Vicente Blasco Ibáñez in his novel 'Los muertos mandan' (The dead rule).
