It is a round tower from the 11th-12th centuries that served as defense and surveillance
Some stairs allow climbing to the top of the pillar from where you can see a magnificent landscape. This tower has a height of 14 meters. It is a geographical reference point for the region, and from where you can see a magnificent view of the Urgell plain, even on a clear day you can see the Seu Vella de Lleida. Near the tower are the ruins of the Romanesque hermitage of Sant Vicenç.
