This tower, dating back to the twelfth century, was used for lookout purposes on one of the ancient roads linking the Ligurian coast and the hinterland. Trade took place on these roads, especially salt (this type of trade has left traces in the names of some villages near Ceva, just think of the town of Sale Langhe).
Being busy streets, raids by both brigands and armies were not uncommon, hence the need, felt in numerous neighboring villages, to equip themselves with watchtowers and other defensive structures. The tower, which is very well preserved, can be visited by asking for the keys in a bar in the town center (ask the inhabitants for information). Numerous hiking and pedaling routes also start from the town centre.
