Canyamel Tower
Monuments | CapdeperaIt is believed that its origin is Islamic although its development is linked to the time of the conquest of Mallorca by Jaime I in 1229. The tower was built to guard the coast and serve as a refuge and defense for the inhabitants of the fertile valley of Canyamel, against the frequent incursions of corsairs and invaders. During its more than 700 years of history, the fortress house has undergone numerous alterations and, once the danger of invasions disappeared, it was transformed into a possession dedicated to farm work. When sugar cane cultivation was introduced in the second half of the 15th century, the defensive building changed its original name from Torre d'en Montsó to its current name of Torre de Canyamel.

Très bel endroit, s’arrêter pour manger à la Proxada de sa Torre pour déguster du porcillo rôti. Lieu très accueillant et repas délicieux. Il faut s’y arrêter.
