Dating back to the fourteenth century, Marrana Tower is an important ruin of an old stone watchtower in granite and limestone, of circular plant with cylindrical development, about 10 meters high and located two kilometers from the coast, in a secluded position on a rocky outcrop near the town of Brivadi. Tower was receiving the signals of nearby Ruffa Tower and then reported back to the other towers placed along the coast to get them to ancient Monteleone Castle, today city of Vibo Valentia, and report to the hinterland the arrival of Saracens ships.
