The tower served as a watch and signal tower and was part of a system designed to warn of pirate attacks. The towers of the system were each manned by a tower guard. The first tower guards were appointed on August 31, 1580, Pere Llull and Andreu Mestre. They were paid £75. In case the guards spotted enemy ships, a signal fire was lit; fresh wood during the day to give a smoke signal, dry wood at night to produce clearly visible flames. In this way, the neighboring towers, each within sight, and the hinterland were alerted. In the hinterland bells were then used to summon men to defend themselves. The rest of the population sought protection in other defensive structures.
