Bellaguarda Tower, located at C. Canterería, 9 in Altea, is a historical site that serves as a viewpoint offering expansive views of the surrounding area. This tower, a reconstruction of an ancient watchtower, stands as a testament to the region's rich history. Visitors often find the journey to the tower rewarding, as it involves navigating through the charming, narrow streets of Altea's old town. The ascent can be a bit challenging due to the narrow and steep staircase, but the effort is met with a panoramic view that encompasses the entire city and its picturesque coastline.

At the top of Bellaguarda Tower, the 360-degree views are complemented by relief images depicting the various sights visible from this vantage point. The sight of the iconic church, Nostra Senora del Consol, is particularly striking, making it a popular spot for photography. The area around the tower features a small square that enhances the overall experience, providing a serene atmosphere away from the more crowded tourist spots. While the tower itself is not large, its historical significance and the beauty of the views it offers make it a noteworthy stop for those exploring Altea.

Despite its appeal, some visitors have noted that the interior could benefit from more regular maintenance, as cleanliness can vary. Nevertheless, the absence of long lines or large crowds adds to the charm of Bellaguarda Tower, allowing for a more relaxed visit. With free entry, it serves as an accessible point of interest for anyone looking to appreciate the stunning vistas and delve into the local history.
