The Aragonese Tower (also called torrazzo) was built during the reign of the Aragonese family of Spain, from which it takes its name. Probably built in 1550, it was part of a system of military towers along the coast.

This watchtower (called Torre Vecchia, but also Torre del Capo della Lice) was built before the first invasion by the Saracens, and was already used in 1586.
