Situated at top the rocky outcrop called Cap d’Or overlooking the Playa del Portet, the tower, which Felipe II ordered built in the 16th century, was once part of the local surveillance system. Working in tandem with the towers of Granadella and Ifach, it kept guard over the entire bay against attacks by corsairs and Berbers, sounding the alarm in Teulada and neighbouring villages whenever danger threatened.
