Located in Adra, the build up of sediments from the river moved the sea away from the wall and in 1833 it was declared useless by the government , since it was too far away for the canons to reach. In 1853 its demolition was authorised, leaving the Torre de la Vela behind as a trace.
Its last function was as a prison and, finally, as a source of building materials.
Free admission.
Open all day. Guided tour by prior appointment, telephone 950 403 546.
