At the beginning of the 16th century, the threat of the Turkish and North-African pirates became much more intense, so many defensive constructions and artillery batteries were installed as part of an extensive defense system, including Penya des Migdia.Today you can still find this defensive installation from that time at Penya des Migdia. It was a little house with a couple of guardians to protected access and two more buildings. Be careful, cause the whole military installation is closed by a brick wall and canbe only accessed via small narrow paths.
