    The tower was built in a panoramic position on the watershed that divides the Compito valley from that of S. Giusto di Compito and near a still existing stretch of an important medieval pilgrimage and trade route called Via di San Colombano. The original function was to provide warnings in case of attacks, an aspect testified by the brazier placed at the top which was used in case of imminent danger. Subsequently the tower became a bell tower (in fact it is located next to the church of Santa Lucia).
    The quadrangular-shaped tower, made of local stone (4.20 meters per side and 18 meters high), represents a unique structure in the Capannorese area and was part of the system of signaling towers of the Republic of Lucca.
