The tower of San Giovanni owes its name to the nearby church of San Giovanni di Sinis and was built between the end of the fifteenth and the beginning of the sixteenth century on the top of the hill overlooking the archaeological area of Tharros, offering a large domain view of the Gulf of Oristano and the open sea. It is one of the most impressive towers in the gulf, second only to that of Torre Grande.

Perhaps the oldest objects, but not found during regular excavations, are bronze figures from the Nuragic culture. Cypriot-Mycenaean pottery from the 13th and 12th centuries BC was found. BC, which suggests maritime trade. No corresponding quantities of imported ceramics have been found in any other Phoenician-Punic settlement in Sardinia. Tharros apparently had close relations with the Etruscans as early as the 8th and 7th centuries, as evidenced by Buccherovases. Giovanni Spano estimated the haul from over 100 looted graves to be around 4,000 scarabs made of agate, Egyptian glass river, Monte Arci jasper, carnelian, lapis lazuli and glazed clay, half of them set in imported gold.

Among the coastal towers of Sardinia, the Capo San Marco tower is located along the western Sardinian coast, and precisely within the municipal territory of Cabras (Or).
