The bissoche towers were built by the French at the beginning of the 16th century during the wars between Francis I, King of France, and Charles V, King of Spain. Francis I decided to equip Villanova d'Asti with new fortifications against the Spanish who had military bases in Valfenera and Asti. The works began in 1520 and ended in 1548.
