The tower is the ancient gate of the city, it was built in 1212 at the behest of Rinaldo Orsini, lord of Piombino. In 1447 it was modified, with the insertion of another structure, the Rivellino, which was added to improve the artillery defense. Currently only the 15th century part and the arch, built in the mid-19th century, are open to the public.
