From up here you can see almost the entire coast of the Serra d'Irta and have a beautiful view of the fortress of Peniscola.

The Badum Tower is a watchtower that belongs to the network of coastal watchtowers. It is located on the second highest cliff in the Valencian Community; the views are spectacular.
The Badum Tower, of Arab origin, is a defensive infrastructure that was used to warn the inhabitants of the castle of the arrival of the enemy through smoke signals.
It is located on the most important cliff of the Sierra de Irta, a 15 km long mountainous alignment parallel to the coast between cliffs, coves and marine reefs. A strategic location to protect the danger coming from the entire coastline. The Badum Tower is circular and truncated in shape and is eleven meters high. It is built by stone masonry, but its main characteristic is that it does not have doors. Its access is about six meters high, through a window that leads to the cabin of the lookouts. This is due to the attempt to make it difficult for pirates to enter.
On its façade you can see the coat of arms of the Kingdom of Valencia with the double-headed eagle of the Habsburgs, from the time of Carlos I. It is a later addition during one of its many restorations.

This tower has been declared an Asset of Cultural Interest since 1985. We encourage those who visit Peníscola to go to the Badum Tower to admire it and enjoy wonderful views of the municipality. From the tower you can start many interesting hiking routes through the natural park.

Very nice coastal path from Alcossebre to Peniscola, gravel road and between concreted but easy to drive, difficult for cyclists with narrow tires to drive but you have a fantastically beautiful view
