Torre del Cabo Cervera o del Moro

Monuments

The tower of the Moor or of the Cabo Cervera is a coastal watchtower built on a hill located on Cape Cervera in Torrevieja, Spain. It is located in Cabo Cervera about five kilometers from the center of Torrevieja on the coastal road towards La Mata and about a hundred meters from the coast. Its plant is circular, with a trochoconical shape and is built with masonry. It has undergone several repairs throughout history, between the last two stand out: the one made in 1960 and the other in 1994. The first corresponds more to the original construction, had a spiral staircase to reach its top. In the restoration of 1994 the previous remains are modified and a crenellated tower is built, in which the shield of the city of Torrevieja stands out.1 It is declared as a Cultural Interest Property in 1985.
