We currently see a headframe from the beginning of the 20th century that keeps the remains of the original tower inside. It is a square building about 11 meters on each side and a single floor covered with a crenellated terrace, plus a tower at an angle, 9.5 meters high, also square, which has lost almost all its battlements and merlons. The complex was built with thick slightly inclined masonry walls to give it greater stability and resistance.

It is located about 7 kilometers from Pinos del Valle, to the left of the road that goes to Los Guájares, very close to the farmhouse of the same name.

Some sources claim that its builder was the Count of Tendilla, but apparently it is an old Moorish watchtower that the Christians maintained.
