    The tower, which is now quite dilapidated, dates back to the 16th century and was part of a warning system against pirate attacks that stretched around the island.
    If you look towards the northwest you can see the Torre d'Albarca and the Talaia Moreia, which were also part of this warning system.
    If the tower guard spotted one or more pirate ships, he lit a fire and the smoke or the light at night alerted armed men to defend themselves.
    The name Jaume probably goes back to Jaume II, whose father Jaume I conquered Mallorca from the Moors.
