"It was built in the 16th century as part of the city’s defensive system to protect against potential invasions, particularly during the period of Venetian and Ottoman threats.
The tower's design is characteristic of the Renaissance style, featuring thick walls and a strategic position that provides a vantage point for monitoring the surrounding areas, including the coastline and the approaches to the city. Its name, "Petilovrijenci," is derived from a local term meaning "the place where small events occur," reflecting its role as a lookout point."
