Torrecilla Alta is a barrio in the municipality of Loíza, Puerto Rico.

[3][4][5] Torrecilla Alta was in Spain's gazetteers[6] until Puerto Rico was ceded by Spain in the aftermath of the Spanish–American War under the terms of the Treaty of Paris of 1898 and became an unincorporated territory of the United States.

In 1899, the United States Department of War conducted a census of Puerto Rico finding that the combined population of Torrecilla Alta and Torrecilla Baja barrios was 1,473.

Alligators are known to roam the areas near the mangroves and when discovered, the creatures are moved to a location managed by the Department of Resources.
