A cylindrical defence tower, about 6.7 metres across, with a main chamber and a terrace, built in 1580 and reworked two years later on a rocky lookout some 180 metres above sea level, between Camp de Mar and Cala Fornells. It was in use from the 16th to the 18th century, was in poor repair around 1850 and was restored in 2002. The door opens about four metres above the ground and no trace of the stair remains.
