The prominent tower is often referred to as a Frankish tower. It is one of the best-preserved structures within the extensive fortress complex of Acrocorinth.
The tower is a typical example of medieval military architecture. It was built from limestone blocks, partially 'reused' from ancient buildings in the area (spolia).
Although the fortress has ancient roots, this specific tower in its current form dates from the period of Frankish rule (13th century), but was later continued to be used and strengthened by the Venetians and Ottomans.
