The Torre Tavira in Cadiz was built in 1730 as part of the Palace House of Los Marqueses de RecaƱo. It was named after the first watchman Don Antonio Tavira.

At 148 feet above sea level, the Tavira Tower was one of the highest lookout points in Cadiz.

Wealthy merchants all over Cadiz built towers on top of their palatial homes so that they could monitor their ships coming into port.
