La Torre de la Peña, también llamada Torre de la Roca del Ciervo, es una almenara situada en el término municipal de Tarifa, al sur de la península ibérica. La construcción se encuentra en la cima de la Peña del ciervo, nombre este traducción literal del árabe Hajrat al-ayal, en las estribaciones de la sierra de la Plata.^[1] Formaba parte del sistema defensivo del estrecho de Gibraltar vigilando el tramo de costa correspondiente a la ensenada de Valdevaqueros y a la playa de Los Lances durante la Edad media y moderna hasta que en el siglo XIX pierde su función de defensa y vigilancia y es abandonada. La torre dominaba el estrecho paso junto a la línea de costa que permitía la comunicación de la ciudad de Tarifa con la Janda atravesando la sierra de Enmedio.^[2]
