Torre Tavira

°äá»å¾±³ú


Northwest of Plaza de Topete, the 18th-century Torre Tavira is the highest point in town, opening up dramatic panoramas of °äá»å¾±³ú. It has a camera obscura that projects live, moving images of the city onto a screen. It's one of °äá»å¾±³ú' 160 watchtowers from the 18th-century, 129 of which are still standing.
