Let's create a Tap Gesture and assign it to a View

let tapGesture = UITapGestureRecognizer()
tapGesture.addTarget(self, action: "tappedView:") // action is the call to the function that will be executed every time a Tap gesture gets recognised.
let myView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 300, height: 300))
myView.addGestureRecognizer(tapGesture)

Every time you tap a view with the assigned Tap Gesture, this function gets called.

func tappedView(sender: UITapGestureRecognizer) {
// Now you ca access all the UITapGestureRecognizer API and play with it however you want.

    // You want to center your view to the location of the Tap.
    myView.center = sender.view!.center

}
