Standing 12 meters tall on a promontory overlooking the harbor, the ancient truncated-conical tower with a circular base is known as Santa Isabel, also referred to as Torre de Las Cumbres or Torre Vieja del Puerto. This structure is built of masonry with a maximum wall thickness of 0.8 meters. It has been recognized as a Bien de Interés Cultural since 1986.
The tower underwent restoration between 1990 and 1991. This work was part of a larger agreement between the Region of Murcia and the INEM for the restoration of regional castles. During this period, the tower was restored with a budget of 6,250,393 pesetas, the same budget allocated for the restoration of the Torre de Cope in Águilas.
