Torre Lance de las Cañas
This eighteenth-century coastal battery has a broad curved front and a plan shaped for artillery, giving it a different character from Marbella’s lookout towers.
The structure shows how coastal defence shifted from watching for vessels to mounting heavier weapons. Its sea-facing curve and projecting rear corners create an unusual outline. An exterior circuit, wherever public access permits, helps explain that shape more clearly than viewing the building only from a single angle.
