The Tower, a military structure of medieval origin, has a dual function: a watchtower and a defense tower.
Today it has remained isolated, it rises from a large bank of limestone, spared from the destruction of the adjacent quarry.
The turret, with a quadrangular section, has three high floors.
The door to access the tower has a peculiarity: compared to the floor it opens at a height of about 3 meters and could only be accessed via a wooden staircase, which, in case of danger, was withdrawn inside the fortification.
