Popularly known as Torre dels Dimonis (Tower of the Demons), it is a Roman funerary construction built in the 3rd century.
It is considered one of the most important mausoleums that remain standing in Roman Hispania.
During the 19th century part of the stones of the structure were used for the construction of a nearby lock, leaving the rectangular base.
Thanks to the description made in 1805 by the French historian Alexandre de Laborde, we know that in the upper part there was a frieze representing a naked woman, accompanied by two lions and plant motifs.
