Torre de la Sal S. XVI

Torre de la Sal is a 16th-century defensive tower perched on the Casares coast, built in 1528 by order of Charles I to protect against pirate raids. This two-story structure features a distinctive square floor plan with octagonal vaulted ceilings and stands beside the water with architectural stability achieved through a wider lower body. Originally accompanied by a salt production facility that gave the tower its name, it later served as a small Guardia Civil barracks before undergoing extensive restoration in 2010. Today it stands as a singular defensive landmark overlooking Playa de la Sal, Playa Chica, and Playa de la Paloma.
