Castell de la Punta de n'Amer – Watchtower in Sant Llorenç

Castell de la Punta de n'Amer is a historic watchtower in Sant Llorenç des Cardassar, nestled within a nature reserve between Cala Millor and Sa Coma.

Watchtower with Panoramic Views

The stone tower sits on a gentle rise and offers sweeping views of the sea, the coastline, Sa Coma and Cala Millor. Inside, you'll find fascinating historic details including a drawbridge, a moat, a cannon and old muskets, alongside information boards telling the story of the site. Entry to the tower is free, though the spiral staircase is narrow and steep — sturdy footwear and a torch are well worth bringing along.

A Walk Through the Nature Reserve

The path to the Castell winds through dune landscapes, pine woodland and rocky coastal trails — the nature reserve itself is very much part of the experience. Along the way and at the destination, you'll be surrounded by a peaceful, unspoilt natural environment. If you're planning to walk the rocky coastal paths, make sure you wear shoes with a good grip.

Café Right by the Tower

Just beside the Castell there's a café with a covered terrace, parasols and plenty of seating. It serves drinks — including coffee and beer — as well as light snacks.
