Can Magí Tower, Tossa de Mar

Can Magi Tower or Tower of the Moors is located on the hill of the same name, about 500 meters from the historic center of Tossa de Mar. Because of the sixteenth century pirate attacks on the coast, frequently coming from North Africa and Turkey, King Philip II authorized the construction of this tower defense whose custodian could warn the inhabitants of Tossa with time so they could hide or prepare to defend. The views of the village of Tossa from this viewpoint are excellent, for this reason it is worth coming up here. Illuminated at night.

The tower was discovered and excavated in 1891.
