The tower is located on the hill of San Sebastiano in Isola del Liri.
It was built to defend itself against the frequent incursions of the Saracens that, at the end of the 9th century, had settled in the mouths of the Liri, today Garigliano.
The Saracens moved to the hinterland of the Alta Terra del Lavoro province, reaching the territories of Isola del Liri, then governed by Longobard princes of Benevento.
