The ruins of the Watchtower tower, probably built between the 9th and 10th centuries, are of Islamic origin. The tower, with a square plan, preserves only three walls, since the south wall collapsed. It is also known as the Four Corners Tower.

It is located in a privileged place, on a hill that overlooks the Sotonera reservoir. Its elevated position allowed visual communication with the Tower of San Mitiel or the Bolea castle.

Atalaia which represents an old watchtower just above the Sotonera reservoir, from where you can see the dam as a whole and also the first pre-Pyrenean mountain ranges such as the Sierra de Guara.
