Dated to the period of construction around 1200, built by the noble Paglia family who gave birth to the religious Blessed Nicola Paglia, over the centuries it has fulfilled the main function of a watchtower and signaling within an extended territorial defense system. , which through the presence of fortified towers and hamlets allowed the populations of the countryside and agricultural villages to organize the defense against the danger of aggressors coming from the sea: in particular it was part of that system of watchtowers arranged symmetrically on two rows, one in immediate proximity to the coast line, the other more internal in the countryside.
