Las torres miradores de Cádiz
La ciudad de Cádiz entre los siglos XVII y XIX fue el puerto de entrada de todo lo que llegaba de América a España. Este hecho hizo que muchos ricos comerciantes se establecieran aquí para controlar los negocios de importación. Para poder observar sus naves en el puerto, ordenaron construir torres de observación en sus viviendas. 

**The city of Cadiz between the 17th and 19th centuries was the port of entry for everything coming from America to Spain. This fact led many rich merchants to settle here to control the import business. In order to be able to watch their ships in the port, they ordered observation towers to be built on their dwellings.**

Estas atalayas ahora son un patrimonio arquitectónico de la ciudad.

**These watchtowers are now an architectural heritage of the city.**

Hay un total de 120 miradores conservados. Muchas torres al estar en edificios donde las calles son estrechas impiden que se pueda observar desde el suelo, siendo necesario subir a la azotea de alguna vivienda. Otras se ven pero con alguna dificultad.

**There are a total of 120 preserved watchtowers. Many towers are located in buildings where the streets are narrow, making it impossible to see them from the ground, and it is necessary to climb to the roof of a house. Others can be seen but with some difficulty.**

Los señores comerciantes usaban palomas mensajeras para adelantar las gestiones de la carga de sus barcos. Mantenían bien cuidadas las palomas durante todo el viaje y cuando estaban cerca de la ciudad soltaban el ave, que sabía llegar a su palomar sin problemas, ubicados en los miradores.

**The merchant lords used carrier pigeons to move their ships' cargo forward. They kept the pigeons well cared for during the whole journey and when they were near the city they released the bird, which knew how to reach its loft without any problems, located on the lookout points.**

Comerciantes de otros países construyeron sus casas con estas torres en Cádiz. Sirios, italianos, franceses y holandeses entre otros.

Por el peligro de derrumbe, el ayuntamiento llegó a prohibir que se sigan construyendo.

The timeless quote of architecture, "Form follows Function", by the renowned architect Louis H. Sullivan, can be clearly applied in the watchtowers you've featured here! Because of their strategic purpose, their usage had an economic advantage where ships used for the trading of imported goods were monitored strategically by rich merchants from higher elevations.

So now, if the city council already banned their construction, what other structures or modern methods are they currently using to replace the observation towers that watch over the harbors @cuvi?

Unos años después Cádiz dejó de tener el monopolio de la entrada de productos de América. Esto hizo que la mayoría de comerciantes se fueran de la ciudad buscando otras oportunidades e intereses.
Un saludo @storiesoferne
