The tower was part of a larger defensive system that included several buildings, of which only three remain today: the Aurora tower, the bell tower of the church of San Giovanni Battista and the tower near the Giant. Probably built in the 16th century by the Genoese on a previous tower to defend Monterosso from pirate raids, today it is part lounge bar and restaurant in a private house.
