I toke a few photos and I went back to “Sa Caleta” beach before the sun was to high in the sky an capture this curios castle.

This building, situated at the end of the Sa Caleta beach, is in fact a house-castle built by the Girona industrialist, Narcís Plaja. The project, dating from 1935, was the work of the architect Isidor Bosch but was not completed until the 1940s, once the Spanish Civil War had finished.
