In the northern part of the village, the ruins of the Byzantine Tower stand out, dominating the hill with a panoramic view of the entire settlement and far to the peaks of Parnon with its chestnut forests, fir trees, pine trees and even further to the Argolic Gulf. The Tower, according to historical sources, was built by the Byzantines in the 14th century and was an important fortification for controlling the important road that started from Argolis and ended in the Laconian plain.
In its full form, the Tower was two-story, exceeded eight meters in height, while the stone walls were about one and a half meters and had circular battlements everywhere. During the Turkish occupation, it was an important refuge for the residents and there were many battles that were fought successfully from within its walls. Around 1810, the Tower was maintained at the expense of the Kastanitsioti Oplarhigos Kapsampelis and in his honor, the Kastanitsioti people named it Kapsampelis Tower. The Tower was unfortunately demolished in 1948, during the Civil War, and today its ruins exist. For visitors to climb there is a paved path with a wooden fence.
