ピラールデラホラダダのおすすめランニングルート

The early structure was built in 1591 to warn against Berber pirates from North Africa. It was classified as a "Bien de Interés Cultural" (Cultural Heritage Site) in 1955.

Important point on this route. 16th century tower

A visit to the coast is particularly worthwhile in the evening sun.

The stones can still be found in buildings in the region today. Even though the buildings fell into disrepair over time, the stones were reused for new buildings. Interesting. Nice tour.

The Torre de la Horadada (or Torre Foradada) was built in the 16th century to serve as a coastal watchtower and protect itself from Berber attacks. The tower, which was built on top of a previous one, is part of a system of coastal watchtowers that during the reign of Felipe II served to defend the coastline. It marked the southern limit of the old Kingdom of Valencia and a town known as Pilar de la Horadada was formed around it.

These ancient Roman quarries from the 1st and 2nd centuries are located on the seafront and were used to supply stone for the buildings that the Romans built in this area. The area was an important enclave of the Roman Via Augusta, which linked the cities of Ilici (Elche) and Cartago Nova (Cartagena). You can see the square holes left by the stonemasons when extracting the large blocks of sandstone.

It deserves an outside visit since it cannot be visited normally.

Respect the flora and fully enjoy this magnificent corner of the coast.
