The observation tower on the square Plaça de Pella i Forgas in Begur was built in the 16th century to defend the town against pirates.
The house that the tower is attached to is named after the Catalan politician, historian and publicist Jose Pella y Forgas (1852-1918), born in Begur, who previously owned the estate.
