The medieval toll tower is located in Arce along the Liri River, and called tower of Campolato or Saracen tower.
It dates back to the French House of D'Anjou, the Neapolitan State, between the thirteenth and fifteenth centuries.
Of the military garrison today remain the square plan tower and ruins of the adjoining building.
The garrison was to control traffic on the Liri river in Arce, crossed by a bridge that connected the Kingdom of Naples and the Papal States.
The bridge and an inn were part of the complex.
They have been found on the list of assets of the Arce Duchy and rented in 1584 by the brothers Boncompagni Nardelli of Santopadre.
