Come and discover Santa Pola's fascinating heritage and explore its magnificent watchtowers.

La Torre Escaletes, Escaletes Tower in Santa Pola, Alicante, is an ancient watchtower built in the 16th century. Its mission was to watch over the Mediterranean Sea, guarding the horizon against enemy ships. The Escaletes Tower communicated with the nearby Atalayola Tower and Santa Pola's Castle-Fortress when it detected a threat.

This ancient monument, one of many fascinating sights you can see in Santa Pola, has a circular base, about ten metres in diameter, and is built of masonry. Its eight-metre height is topped by corbels, making it a truly photogenic construction with the Mediterranean as its backdrop!

You will also find an ancient inscription above the entrance door. Come to Santa Pola and discover a truly unique heritage.
