Manacor's Oddly Placed Tower: The Gothic Rustic Residue of Ses Puntes

Take a squint through the misleading veneer of Manacor's Ses Puntes, a rustic relic of the 14th century that's taken up residence in the heart of the city, and dream up the whispers of what lies beneath this enigma enshrouded in Gothic mystery.

Hiding inside the heart of Manacor, Spain, Ses Puntes, a 14th-century relic, throbs with an enigmatic aura. Initially, it was built outside the urban walls as a humble chateau. But now, it's become the proud namesake of the barrio de Sa Torre. Adorned with a sprawling garden and a rectangular shape, this building houses a solitary floor, topped by merlons - but oddly, only on its front facade. So, you see, it's curious enough to wonder, why the strange design, huh?
