      The tower has undergone numerous and important consolidation interventions on the rocky ridge that houses it. They are also responsible for the construction of the showy two-storey body added to the original structure. It is in fair condition.

        The tower is part of an extensive defensive system spread along the Apulian and overall Salento coasts, referring to the XV and XVI centuries. Built by Charles V in 1584, to oppose the enemy raids, it has a truncated cone shape and a single floor (the original base restored), as well as an external masonry staircase and a terrace for the guards. The location of the watch-towers, called the "sentinels of the sea", allowed that the signals could be spread both laterally along the coast line and parallel to the internal fortified villages, thanks to the use of fire signals during the night and smoke during the day.
