The tower was built in the thirteenth century on the land of the Mardoni family. The tower is of square plan, measuring ca. 7.5 meters per side and standing to a height of 15 meters. It rests on ancient Roman foundations. A structure, now ruinous, built in peperino once surrounded the tower. Its location is strategic in terms of a commanding position along important roads.
