The tower or fusilier fort was built at the entrance of Castelló, next to the river, in the second half of the XIX century by the “Regiment of Toledo”, to renovate the town’s defences against the Carlists. It is a cylindrical and battered tower, with loopholes and embattlements. In november 1874 the “Fire of Castelló” took place, the bloody battle which was won by the Carlist force of General Savalls. It is notorious that half the town was destroyed and burnt.
