La Torre del Barranc d’Aigues

Monuments

The also known as Torre del Barranc d'Aigües, like the Torre de la Illeta, was built in the second half of the XVI century as part of the network of watchtowers located along the entire Valencian coast to prevent attacks of Berber pirates. It is located in a protected landscape of great scenic beauty, which was the border line between the kingdoms of Castile and Aragon until 1296, when the monarch Jaime II annexed these territories definitively to the Aragonese crown and with it, to the Kingdom of Valencia. Although the upper part of the tower is quite deteriorated, it still retains the rest of its physiognomy that allows us to guess its original structure.
