Built in 1100 for military purposes, it was subsequently the residence of important people of Bardonecchia, until, in 1600, it was left in a state of neglect. Purchased in 1998 by the municipality of Bardonecchia, it was rearranged bringing to light most of the structures

This tower is part of the city's old medieval fortifications. It can be reached either by a fairly good (but fairly straight) dirt road from the east side, or by the paved Via Tur d'Amun and a short dirt section. Behind the tower, archaeological excavations have uncovered the ancient structures of the defensive complex (the excavation site is currently closed for construction [August 2025]). The view of Bardonecchia and the surrounding mountains is stunning.
