Aspa Tower
Vila do Bispo, Portugal, Portugal
Torre de Aspa, also known as Aspa Tower, near Vila do Bispo in Portugal's Algarve region, is a historic coastal watchtower and geodetic marker perched on a 156-meter hilltop overlooking Praia do Castelejo, within the Southwest Alentejo and Vicentine Coast Natural Park. Originally an atalaia—a small military lookout—from likely the 16th century under King João III's coastal defense network against pirates, no physical remnants survive, with earliest records from the late 1500s. The site once overlooked a key almadrava tuna-fishing trap documented in 1721, highlighting its economic role alongside vigilance duties.
