Santa Isabel watchtower, also known as Torre de Las Cumbres or Torre Vieja del Puerto, is an asset of cultural interest since 1986. Standing 12 meters tall on a promontory, the tronco-conic tower with a circular base has been restored since the 1990s as part of a larger initiative with the INEM. The tower is named after Queen Isabel, but it remains uncertain whether it references Queen Isabel I of Castile (reigned 1474-1504) or Queen Isabel Clara Eugenia (reigned during its restoration).
