The Tour de Batère is a watch and signal tower from the 14th century. It is one of a large number of similar towers that were built around this time for military purposes (observation and signal transmission) and were manned by several soldiers all year round.
In keeping with the purpose, you can enjoy a very good view over the plain to Perpignan, as well as other towers in this chain, such as the Tour de la Massane. The tower probably had a relay function in the network of these towers.
The gravel road between Col de la Descarga and Col de Palomère, on which the tower can be reached, is uncomfortable with flat tires, but is otherwise easy to drive on.
