Built in the Nasrid period, its function was to monitor, defend and notify neighboring towns in the event of an attack, in this case the Somontín tower (to the south) and the Caniles tower (to the north). They communicated with smoke signals or mirror reflections.

The Torre del Ramil, also known as the Torre de los Moros, is a watchtower, located in the municipality of Alcóntar, and one kilometer from Hijate, on a small hill.
The Torre del Ramil was part of the network of fortifications and defensive points. Built in Nasrid times, its function was to monitor, defend and warn neighboring towns in case of attack, in this case the Somontín tower (to the south) and the Caniles tower (to the north). During the day they communicated with smoke and at night with reflections of light, with mirrors.
