Torre d’en Montgó is an observation tower built in 1598 by the royal decree of Felipe I to protect the fishermen of L’Escala from pirates. The tower has been well preserved and is now included on the list of the national cultural heritage objects. Its prime location on a mountaintop that used to guarantee clear views of approaching enemy is still high in demand — the Montgó tower has an excellent scenic lookout with amazing vistas.
