They were built in an attempt to detect the approach of Saracen pirate ships, which regularly raided coastal villages and settlements, stealing salt, fish and harvested foodstuffs. To warn islanders as soon as a pirate ship was sighted, the watchmen manning the towers would send smoke signals or, alternately, light fires if the sighting had occurred in the dark of night. When the country folk saw these warnings, they quickly gathered their most precious belongings and either hid in the forest or took refuge in a fortified church.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><!--:--><!--more--><!--:en--><\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Built completely of stone, the towers have a circular, conical structure and are two storeys high. One of their architectural peculiarities resides in the fact that, to ensure greater safety, the doorway is located on the second floor so that entry is possible only by means of ropes or a ladder. This feature made it more difficult for pirates to break in.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">En este post recogeremos las 3 torres pertenecientes al norte de la Ibiza, las m\u00e1s cercanas a nuestro agroturismo, para que durante vuestras vacaciones disfrut\u00e9is de la historia m\u00e1s viva en plena naturaleza ibicenca:<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">1. TOWER OF PORTINATX &#8211; Sant Joan de Labritja<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">In the following post, we will review the three towers that guarded Ibiza\u2019s northern coast, which also happen to be those closest to our agro-tourism. We hope that during your holiday you will have the opportunity to experience this aspect of our living history, right on the frontline of sea and nature.<\/p>\n<div>\n<dl id=\"attachment_4081\">\n<dt><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/torredeportinatx1.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/torredeportinatx1.jpg\" alt=\"Foto Ibiza5sentidos\" width=\"800\" height=\"536\" \/><\/a><br \/>\nPhoto Ibiza5sentidos<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">2. TOWER OF ES MOLAR &#8211; Sant Joan de Labritja<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Also known as the Tower of Balansat Port or the Tower of Sant Miquel, this watchtower is located near the entrance to the Port of Sant Miquel. It is perched on a highpoint called Punta de Sa Creu and is part of the Sant Miquel parish. Situated on a cliff top, it stands an impressive 95 meters above sea level, making it one of the highest towers on the island. The views over s\u2019Illa Murada and s\u2019Illa des Bosc are breathtaking. This tower was completed on the same day as some of its sister towers, 26th October, 1763.<\/p>\n<div>\n<dl id=\"attachment_4082\">\n<dt><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Torredesmolar.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Torredesmolar.jpg\" alt=\"Foto IbizaPus\" width=\"687\" height=\"515\" \/><\/a><\/dt>\n<dt>Photo IbizaPus<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n<\/div>\n<h2>3. TOWER OF EN VALLS &#8211; Santa Eul\u00e0lia des Riu<strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tambi\u00e9n conocida como Torre del Cap de Campanitx, la encontramos en Santa Eul\u00e0ria des Riu, en territorio de la parroquia de Sant Carles de Peralta entre las playas de Canal d\u2019en Mart\u00ed y Cala Boix. Toda esta zona, que abarca la peque\u00f1a pen\u00ednsula de es Cap Roig, ha sido declarada \u00c1rea Natural de Especial Inter\u00e9s (ANEI). Esta torre estaba dotada de 2 ca\u00f1ones hasta que el 29 de noviembre de 1846 sufri\u00f3 la explosi\u00f3n del polvor\u00edn que en ella se guardaba, esta explosi\u00f3n la dej\u00f3 casi totalmente destruida hasta que en el a\u00f1o 1982 fue rehabilitada gracias a ayudas p\u00fablicas. La torre d\u2019en Valls se encuentra a 67 metros sobre el mar y nos brinda unas vistas espectaculares de la isla de Tagomago.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TORRE.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.canplanells.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/TORRE-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"TORRE\" width=\"642\" height=\"427\" \/><\/a><!--:--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The defense towers that dot the Pitiusan coast were part of a public works program begun in the18th century, during the reign of Charles III.
