Torre de la Candela — Attraction in l'Aldea

It was a sunny 🌞 beautiful day when I visited. It was also march so access to the top of the tower was closed. You can see the importance of the site though, and effort is being made to make it more appealing. There is a barbecue area and benches. It is just stuck in between two busy roads so not too appealing. However it’s an important site to preserve and visit if you have time. We are family of 12 persons and my 15 months daughter, we all love to cook barbecue there in sunny weather, such a nice place to enjoy with your family and no one disturb you to enjoy your day. Highly recommend for who love to enjoy barbecue party 🎉....

Xll y XIll, si bien no se descarta una base cronológica anterior. La ubicación de la torre y de las estructuras complementarias no deben desvincularse de un sistema defensivo más amplio y complejo. La proximidad del castillo de Amposta, de la torre de Burjacènia, de la torre de Font de Quinto o de la Carrova así nos...
