The Torre de Cala en Basset is a watchtower from the late 16th century

Coastal watchtower built in 1583 and located 90 meters above sea level, at Punta de la Galera.

This cave is the result of the collapse of ancient karst systems. Subsequently, there have been processes of concretion in certain areas and of refilling with gaps that later underwent other processes of collapse. The cavity is located on the road between the Vileta cemetery and the Coll des Vent. It is easy to find as it has an entrance very close to the trail. This entrance is a trench that was made to be able to easily remove the plaster from the cavity. In addition to this entrance, it has another natural entrance that gives access to the upper room of the cavity and a ventilation hole that can be reached from the outside through a small trench. It can be easily entered through the entrance to the trench, although it is practically overrun by vegetation where the brambles make access difficult. In this trench, measuring 12.7x2.5 m, you can still find remains of the horse that gives the cavity its name and that was probably used as a draft animal in mining operations. Outside the trench there is a demolition of considerable dimensions and which is another example of the exploitation work that was done in this cavity

Ancient Mining Caves. Mine of considerable dimensions which can be accessed through a long gallery (approximately 10 m), which begins with a trench (11 m), open on the east side and another trench open on the west side. It also has two natural entrances, in the form of a chimney, the first of which gives access to the gallery on the east side and the other to a bridge that has remained in the center of the mine. After the excavations carried out in the mine, a rather large sinkhole has been left with walls that reach up to 11 m high in some places and a maximum length of 30 m. Inside, full of vegetation that makes it difficult to pass, there is a lot of dirt among which we can even find two cars. The proximity to La Vileta and the fact that there is a path right on the edge of the sinkhole makes it easy to throw all kinds of manure.

Old mine and quarry

This mine, excavated in Quaternary breccias, is located about 125 m to the S of the entrance to the Grossa quarry. It has a route of 25 m in the SW direction, with practically no difference in level except for its last 3-4 m, due to the accumulation of rubble from the wall at the end of the gallery and an artificial opening at the exit 'this area. This opening is quadrangular, 1 x 1 m. The width of the gallery oscillates between 2 and 3.5 m, except in some points where the quarry was widened, not exceeding 5 m. Its height is about 2 m for almost the entire length of its route. At the end of the gallery a small 4 x 3 chamber has been excavated in the NW direction THE CAVITIES OF THE SERRA DE NA BURGUESA.
