Consisting of a square base, it has three stories. The first two were built in the 14th century, and the third belongs to the Christian epoch.
On the west side there is a door with a horseshoe arch leading to a small room with a groin vault. Over the door can be found a segmented lintel.
The first stage was built with ashlars, and each side ends at a different heigth, as if the work were suddenly stopped and later completed with bricks.
