Torre Vella de Salou

Torre Vella

A 16th-century tower built to guard against pirates, now the town's cultural centre and a gallery of modern enamel art.

The Torre Vella was built around 1530 as a defensive tower against raids by North African pirates, and it is a rare surviving monument in Salou's old town. Restored and now run as a municipal cultural centre, it houses a permanent collection of contemporary enamel art and hosts occasional exhibitions and small concerts. The tower is not large, so it is worth a quick stop while strolling the old town. Admission is mostly free.
