It is a flank tower annexed to the 3rd precinct, erected mid 14th century.
It has a circular plan at the base. From the level of the cornice, the tower has the shape of an octagonal prism concluded in its superior part by a body standing out towards the exterior and sustained by consoles with crude oil holes between arches.
It was restored in 1967.
The connective wall between these towers is in part a recent reconstruction of the old wall that once connected them.
