A monstrous piece of the tower lies across the portal. It wasn't an earthquake that brought down the former watchtower, but rather a deliberate barrage of cannonballs by the Spanish occupiers during the 28-year conflict to restore Portuguese sovereignty. Serpa, a border town coveted for its mineral resources, changed its national flag several times over the course of its turbulent history along the border between the once-enemy kingdoms of Castile and Portugal. In 1674, the then Prince Regent and future King Pedro II awarded Serpa the title of Vila Notável de Serpa. Despite extensive destruction, the "remarkable town" managed to hold its ground and was awarded the honorary royal title that remains in use today.

The tower itself was part of the defensive line built around the castle during the reign of D. Dinis. Since its use as a defensive tower was no longer viable, the upper part was built and the clock installed during the reign of D. Manuel I, probably between 1515 and 1516. Unfortunately, it has been closed for years and is only sporadically open for visits.

The dramatic entrance to Serpa's old town. The city walls are largely the work of Dom Dinis, dating back to the 12th century. Of the original five gates in the castle wall, classified as a national monument, only the Moura Gate, the New Gate, and the Beja Gate remain today. The latter is flanked by two massive cylindrical towers that contrast with the elegance of the aqueduct's arches.
