This tower is located in a picturesque position between Capo San Vito and the Tower of ‘Impisu, a prominent position in the rugged coastal landscape.
Like the other coastal defence towers of the period of the Camilliani, it presents a series of characteristics common to this typology: a square plan, an imposing embankment at the base for the cistern and the deposit of ammunition, a room on the second floor divided into two halves for the torrari and a terrace where to place the artillery and the instruments to communicate with smoke and fire.
