The Piles Tower was built in 1573 along the coast as a defence system from the Berber attacks and especially from the famous Red Beard the Pirate. It has an exterior diameter of 10m and its height is 13m.
As a curious fact, the Tower is slightly tilted West. After its building it was given a custody of 4 men of the Coast Guard Group, two watched out and made signals when they observed the presence of suspicious boats. At day light with smoke, at night with fire.
