Talaia d’Albercutx, is an old strategic lookout and bastion dating back from the early Middle Ages. This ancient watchtower offers some unique and breathtaking views overlooking the bay of Puerto de Pollenca and the valley of Pollenca old town.
The name suggests that this this place has been known and used at least since Mozarab times on Mallorca, due to the -tx ending of the name.

The most recent use of the watchtower was during the civil war in the 1930’s.
