Tower of Serral dels Falcons

Porto Cristo, Mallorca, Spain

Tower of Serral dels Falcons (Torre del Serral dels Falcons) is located in the town of Porto Cristo, on the eastern coast of Mallorca.
It was built in 1577 and served as a watch and signaling tower and was part of a system designed to warn against pirate attacks.
The tower was occupied by a guard, who burned the wood to give a smoke signal, when it was necessary.
Inside the tower there was a sleeping place, a small kitchen and a water storage.
