The tower is in the abandoned settlement Pyrgos-Skounteri, at the foot of the mount Dirfys, 30 km from Chalkis and 7 km from Steni.
Its origin is not known exactly. It is probably from the Ottoman period when it was the seat of the local Aga.
Once a year, a spring village feast takes place in the square around the tower, the main event of which is the exchange of seeds.
