The Torre de Vila-seca is a cylindrical defensive tower in Palafrugell, Catalonia, constructed around 1565 to protect a farmhouse and settlement against pirate attacks. Built with a distinctive slightly sloped base and standing approximately eight meters high across two floors, the tower features gun slits and elevated doorways characteristic of 16th-century coastal defenses. Restored in 2010 and protected as a Cultural Property of National Interest, the tower represents an important example of medieval Catalan maritime fortifications with Roman origins tracing back to its settlement history.
