    Passing by here, you will undoubtedly be taken aback to see this dungeon erected in the heart of the valley in this small, solitary village, in a place that does not seem to make sense, and without any road leading to it. In truth, this dungeon is not historical. It is the work of a man, no doubt a bit of a dreamer, who started building this tower in 1968 from modern materials, breeze blocks and concrete blocks. It took him 50 years to complete this dungeon on his property in order, in his own words, to seek the light.
