It is believed to date from the 12th-13th centuries, given the type of the building, it is a rather squat square structure, about 9 1/2 meters high, the entrance door is placed very high to prevent access to raiders, in fact a ladder was placed there and immediately after passing through it was withdrawn.It was surrounded by walls, of which only a few traces remain today.
