DEFENSE TOWERS AND WATCH TOWERS OF MALLORCA PROJECT

 Hi everyone!!

We want to share with all of you our leading project during the school year!

It has been amazing learning a little more about our island and, specially, about the defense towers that surround the coast line of it.

You can't imagine how incredible the history of this constructions are. We have learnt the stories about towers, kings, castles, pirates, legends, battlements, ghosts...

We have learnt about construction of towers, their architects like Joan Binimelis, who designed the communication between the towers, the name of the towers, where are they located, the parts of the towers...

We have also learnt about fearsome corsairs, battlements, pirates ships and how the people of the island defended and protected their land and their life...
