2.-Torre Vigia cap d´Or

The Tower Vigia is one of the most important monuments of Moraira. This old watchtower is located at the top of Cap d’Or, and it was built in the 16th century to protect the people of continuous pirate attacks. From this tower the sea was controlled and they warned the interior of any outbreak. It is currently one of the most important attractions of Moraira, from which you can contemplate a magnificent panoramic view of the whole area.

4.- Iglesia-fortaleza de Santa Catelina Martir

Last but not least, we recommend a fascinating visit to the church of Santa Catelina Martir. A curiosity about this monument is that it is a reconstruction of an ancient gothic style church that was built in the 14th century to protect the people against pirate attacks. It is worth a visit, especially because inside you can discover one of the oldest musical organs in Alicante.
