TOUR MADELOC

Built at an altitude of 652 meters in the XNUMXth century on the initiative of Jacques II of Majorca, it is part of a vast network of signal towers located in Roussillon.
Standing 30 meters tall and with a circumference of 25 meters, this signal tower was once used to monitor the sea and Spain, anticipating any attacks. It communicated with its neighbors via a system of lights: at night, the fire served as a signal, and during the day, it produced smoke. Its nearest neighbor is the Massane Tower, which was linked to the castle of Collioure, the summer residence of the Kings of Majorca.
Consisting of two floors on vaults housing a cistern and a chimney, its walls are 2 meters thick pierced by several loopholes.
It benefits from an exceptional panorama overlooking the plain and the coast of Roussillon.
