The vault of this tower is decorated, like the others, by a ray of ribs that hang like an umbrella and rest on small corbels. As can be seen from the passages of some historians, this tower was called "of the flags", from the insignia that fluttered on it, perhaps before our Castle was granted the privilege of hoisting two of them on the north towers, between which the border between Val Demone and Val di Noto was present, no longer visible today.
