The Tour de la Massane is a watchtower and signal tower from the 13th century. It is one of a large number of similar towers that were built around this time in the Kingdom of Aragon for military purposes (observation and signaling) and were manned by several soldiers all year round.
In keeping with its purpose, you can enjoy a very good view from there over the coast and the plain as far as Perpignan, as well as other towers in this chain, such as the Tour Madeloc.translated by•February 14, 2022
A phenomenal view awaits you up here at 793 m. The ascent is definitely worth it.
