Watchtower on a promontory of which only the lower part remains, where there was a covered water cistern with a hemispherical vault. Built in 1599, it was part of the network of fortifications that defended the coast from pirate attacks. It has a circular plan, was originally more than 7 meters high and is made of coarse-grained, irregular and unworked limestone. It was destroyed by lightning in the mid-18th century.
