It’s one of the oldest towers on the island, and it was a defense tower built in the 16th century to protect and defend the salt loaders who worked in the salt flats, a constant target of corsairs. At that time, the salt was an import export product. It can give shelter to between 150 and 200 people. It is the only tower with a cupboard and a fireplace. When the fire was turned on, the salt workers ran to take refuge, because it meant that they were approaching a schooner of Turkish or Berber pirates.
