Torre Major is a historic coastal watchtower in Alcúdia, listed as a protected monument and set within an unspoilt natural landscape.

A Watchtower with Character

Torre Major is one of Mallorca's most striking coastal towers. Its bold architectural presence sits naturally within a shoreline landscape of clear water and rugged rock. The tower itself is closed to visitors — the entrance and grounds are fenced off — but it remains a compelling sight and a rewarding subject for photography.

Views and Surroundings

The area around the tower offers sweeping views across the Bay of Alcúdia and out to sea. Nearby you'll find small coves with clear water and rocky shores. The landscape is largely unspoilt, with old industrial buildings and scattered dwellings along the approach adding to the character of the wider area.

Location & Getting There

The tower is located at Carrer Cranc 8 in Alcúdia. Roadside parking is available nearby, and from there the tower is within easy walking distance. The path from Port d'Alcúdia leads uphill to the site.
