It is located in a privileged situation on a promontory which served as defensive bulwark against attacks from the sea, according to Don Jesús Evaristo Casariego may have been first built in the thirteenth century, although it underwent several renovations in later centuries, especially in the eighteenth , sponsored by the Bishop Rafael Tomás Menéndez from Luarca.

The facade has an arched carpanel gateway whose frame are painted in light gray and outlined in black lines simulating blocks or segments. It is wood made and double swing, with solid bottom and the top made in glass with protecting iron railings. On it there is a circular rose with slightly modulated stone frames.

Its right hand takes a traditional position, with the eaves of the pitched roof ending in a regular shape and a small opening half-point to internally illuminate a room attached to the rostrum, also painted in gray as the door. However, the left side takes a semicircular shape that surrounds the tower.

On the facade lies the belfry of blocks of granite, formed by two pilasters, moulded to the Tuscan way, a small barrel vault in which lies the hood and a pediment surmounted by a cross with equal arms.

The rectangular tower has a spiral staircase, small windows and topped with a spire truncated.
