The Torre del Catalán (English: El Catalán Tower) is a watchtower located in Lepe, in the province of Huelva (Spain), declared Bien de Interés Cultural. It is located on top of one of the millenary hillocks that border the coastline, halfway between the beach of La Antilla and the port of El Terrón. It dominates the portion of coastline in front of it and had the mission of guarding it against the incursion of pirates. From its position you can see the natural area Marismas del río Piedras y Flecha del Rompido.
