Tower of les Bruixes

Monument · Alins, Pallars Sobirà, Lleida

Dovecote tower built between the 16th and 18th centuries, used to raise pigeons and occasionally as a watchtower, which explains its inclusion in catalogs of medieval defensive architecture. It survives in good condition, though its interior cannot be visited due to the risk of collapse; it is signposted and fenced, with views over the settlement of Alins. It should not be confused with the tower of the same name in Arbúcies (Girona), linked to the castle of Montsoriu, which is a different and much earlier building.
