About this Stone
This historical watchtower dates to the 13th century, when it was built as a defensive structure and lookout point commanding expansive views over the surrounding landscape. A fascinating feature of medieval engineering is the intricate underground escape tunnel built into the tower—a common architectural element in fortifications of the era, designed to provide a secretive exit during sieges or attacks. The tower stands as a testament to the region's medieval past and remains an evocative landmark worth visiting.
