The district of Campredó (Tortosa) will join the tenth Mediterranean Watchtower Lighting event on Saturday, January 31, to denounce the migrant and refugee crisis.

The symbolic initiative, held simultaneously in various locations, features the participation of about 180 sites across Spain, Morocco, and Palestine this year. The goal is to advocate for human rights and highlight the plight of migrants and refugees in the Mediterranean.
In Campredó, the action will focus on two sites of great heritage value: the Casa del Prat and the Torre de Font de Quinto. These buildings will be illuminated as a gesture of commitment to a Mediterranean of peace, life, and welcome.

The Lighting uses the symbolism of fire and light to remember the thousands of people who lose their lives every year attempting to cross the Mediterranean.

The towers, watchtowers, and talaiots, which were historically intended for territorial surveillance and protection, thus regain a new meaning as beacons of denunciation and solidarity. The action also calls for migration policies that are fairer and more respectful of human rights.
With this participation, Campredó joins a network of municipalities committed to raising visibility for social causes through heritage. Other towns in the Terres de l'Ebre that have joined the proposal include Tortosa, Amposta, La Ràpita, Alcanar, and La Sénia.
