It is an Almohad tower from the 13th century that was part of the defense wall of the castle of Xàtiva. Its name is due to its orientation since it is given the first rays of the sun of the day. It consists of a rectangular floor plan with its peculiar semicircular side. It has two floors and an attached cistern.
