The moat tower was built in the middle of the 19th century and was part of the military optical telegraph line from Barcelona to Lleida. It communicated with the towers located in Molins de Rei and Esparreguera with a structure located on the tower that was formed by a fixed vertical pole and a transversal one that could be inclined 45 ° to the left and right, with a circle at each end. A pulley allowed the movement of a third circle up and down the vertical pole, thus achieving a total of 20 possible combinations. At night the circles were replaced by lanterns.
On January 24, 1939, the tower, abandoned since the late nineteenth century, became a last point of resistance of Republican troops to the Francoist army.
Once restored by Castellbisbal City Council, it is now part of the catalog of 100 elements of Catalonia's industrial heritage.

good views from up there, it is better to go up through the area of the urbanization that is softer, on the river side the climbs are very strong.
