The tower with a quadrangular shaft dates back to the thirteenth century, still related to the ruins of the castle of Camerana, located in the hamlet of Villa on the Bormida valley. Despite being the place already mentioned in a diploma of 967 in favor of the bishopric of Savona, the historic building is first attested, as "castrum Camairana", in the uncertain document of 1142, concerning the hereditary division between the sons of the aleramic marquis Bonifacio del Vast. The construction of the keep and the restructuring of the castle complex is probably due to the marquises of Monferrato, for whom the castrum cameranese is included in deeds of 1216 and 1233. The high tower, although cut off at the top, is made of stone cut. (from turris.it)
