It has a square plant and few and simple internal division and a tank for collecting rainwater. Through the outdoor masonry staircase, built afterwards, you can reach the terrace. Because of its high, it has to be connected to the towers of Bonagia and Monte S. Giuliano and, probably, also with the tower of Isulidda, on the Cofano Gulf. It has recently been renewed. In the past, there were three guards per each tower.
