This lonely tower stands near a cozy meadow. It is the Torre di Sant'Antonino, once the bell tower of a mountain church that has now collapsed. It is believed that the church was a stopping point for pilgrims on their way to Rome along the ancient Via degli Abati.

Although in the past it was considered a watchtower of the Nicelli, it was used by the soldiers of the family only in later times. An obscure historical fact is linked to this tower: the church was deconsecrated in the 15th century due to a tragic event that caused many victims. Numerous legends surround this episode.
