Abstract

The Tower of El Molinete is one of the three watchtowers built between the 15th and 16th centuries in Mazarron (Murcia - Spain), in order to warn the population of eventual incursions by Berber pirates. The Tower is located in the urban area of Mazarron and it crowns the so-called Hill of El Molinete, which is the great green area of the city. Both the Tower and the Hill were in a poor state of preservation. The intervention has resulted in the improvement of the state of preservation and accessibility to the Tower, as well as the regeneration, fitting-out and landscaping of the entire Hill, as an open and safe urban space recovered for leisure and enjoyment of the historical and natural environment, by reintegrating these two heritage and landscape points of reference into the city.
