The Tower of San Telmo, from the 14th century, is located on the cliffs that separate the beach from El Sable in the cove of Santa Justa. It is an old medieval watchtower that served as an observatory and point of reference for ships, as well as a bastion and defense against invasions. At the moment it is in ruins and only part of two walls of the original building remain standing, conserving the hollows of two windows.
