A triangulation tower (Spanish: Torres de defensa or Torres d'Enfilació) is a tower built by the navy on the coast for navigation purposes.
This tower assists boats or submarines in determining their position by means of triangulation. On the north coast of Mallorca, the Spanish navy built 28 triangulation towers in pairs, 1240 meters apart, each 200 meters from the other. The towers were used by the Spanish fleet for bearing triangulation during military exercises approximately between 1941 and 1970. These towers, reminiscent of obelisks with their slender construction, were often painted white and the top bore a red marking.
