Torre de Centum Cellas

A strange archaeological site on a dirt road has kept people guessing for years. The massive framework of granite blocks is thought to be of Roman origin, but experts are unable to explain its original function or provide many clues about its original appearance. Some archaeologists believe it was part of a much larger complex, possibly a Roman villa, and was subsequently used as a watchtower.

Some archaeologists believe it was part of a much larger complex, possibly a Roman villa, which was subsequently used as a watchtower.
