Tower "dell'acqua sotterra"
This monument like the several towers of the Roman countries was built to sight the enemy and to defend the town from it. They were built by the baronial families protecting their territories.

This square-shaped structure probably was built in the 13th-14th century, and it is made of little peperino bricks and rests of ancient materials. It has an enclosure wall underlining its defensive importance.
