Torre de Aubarca (des Matzoc)
was built in 1751 as a surveillance point of the Menorca Canal, because of the British occupation of the neighboring island. It is a truncated cone building with two floors and a roof, about 11 meters high. The original access was located on the upper floor, subsequently opening one on the ground floor. On the lower floor, subdivided into three spaces, the powder keg was located. Through a spiral staircase you could access the roof, where a cannon is still preserved.
