The Torre Horadada: history and architectural form

The Torre Horadada was built in the 16th century to keep watch over the sea. It was declared a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest). Its construction period and original function place the tower in its historical context; its recognised heritage status adds another cultural and historical dimension.

The Torre Horadada has a truncated-cone shape, a circular ground plan and masonry construction. It is three storeys high, and its battlements are still visible. The circular ground plan describes its round layout, while its truncated-cone shape refers to a cone with its tip cut off. The ground plan and silhouette describe its shape, the masonry and storeys its construction, and the battlements a surviving architectural detail.
