Torre del Verger, Banyalbufar, Mallorca, Spain
The Torre del Verger is an old watchtower in the municipality of Banyalbufar in Mallorca.
The tower is located on the northwest coast of the Spanish island of Mallorca. It is located on a high rocky outcrop of the Serra de Tramuntana, which at this point drops steeply towards the Mediterranean Sea.
The tower was built in 1579 as a watchtower to monitor this stretch of coastline and defend it against attacks by pirates. Today it serves as an observation tower. It is accessible via a path (from the nearby viewpoint) and can be climbed via an internal staircase. From its platform, it provides an overview of the coastal section.
In 1875 the tower was bought by Ludwig Salvator of Austria-Tuscany and renovated in 1997. Today it is a listed building
