From up here you have a great view of the bay. A beautiful hiking area begins right at the tower (sure-footedness required) ...

The tower was built between 1556 and 1598, according to the plans of the Italian engineer Juan Bautista Antonelli, who worked together with the viceroy of Valencia Vespasiano I Gonzaga under the reign of Philip II. It was renovated in the 18th century and remained active until the beginning of the 19th century, when it lost military value and was transferred to the Carabineros Corps. It was declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 1985.

Sta. Elena tower. Built by Felipe II in the 16th century to defend the area from pirate attacks in North Africa. Very well preserved.
