The Spanish tower of Santa Maria Navarrese is a clear testimony to the problem of Saracen pirate incursions, which often hit the coastal area between Villaputzu and Arbatax. The tower was built around 1591, when as many as 40 towers existed along the Sardinian coast (today there are just over 100). The tower is in direct visual connection with that of Arbatax, a logistical solution that allowed the service garrisons in the two buildings to control the entire gulf.
From here the view of the gulf is beautiful.

Walking along the coast of Santa Maria Navarrese (Baunei district) you can come across the Spanish Tower, a silent witness to history that has watched over the fate of the inhabitants of the central east coast of Sardinia for over five hundred years
