01About the place

Cylindrical defensive tower with a slightly sloping base in the Plaça de la Constitució in Selva de Mar (Alt Empordà).

It is one of the four 16th-17th century towers remaining from the town's old defensive system against piracy, now integrated into the town center and protected as a BCIN (Asset of National Interest); it retains rectangular loopholes adapted for firearms.
