The Madeloc tower is a 13th century watchtower located in North Catalonia, in the Albera mountain range. With a height of 650 m, it is visible from the Mediterranean coast to the massifs of the French Pyrenees-Orientales.
The tower, erected in the times of Jaume II, king of Mallorca and count of Roselló, had the mission of watching out for Arab incursions on the coast. During the Mallorcan and Aragonese sovereignty, it was part of a network of watchtowers together with the Maçana tower.translated by
