It is less than half an hour's walk from the port. It is a pleasant walk where, from the height of 157 metres, one can take in the sea, the port of Sóller and S'Illeta.
It is protected, generically, by the decree of 22 April 1949 on the protection of Spanish castles, and is therefore an Asset of Cultural Interest with the category of Monument.
