Torre Carmelet

Torre Carmelet is a defensive tower dating to the 15th-16th centuries located in the Ribera de Cabanes, part of the historic "Camino de las Torres" (Path of the Towers) in Plana Alta, Castellón. The square-plan tower spans three stories with corner turrets on opposite corners and distinctive machicolation on the southeast facade housing the entrance. Built from masonry with cut stone framing doors and windows, this structure exemplifies coastal defensive architecture providing shelter for farmers against sudden pirate raids. Catalogued as a Site of Cultural Interest, Torre Carmelet integrates within a network of historic towers including Torre de los Gatos, Torre de la Sal, and Torre del Carmen.
