A Venetian tower at the center of the village Kipi, next to the church, 14 km south of the town Kymi of eastern Evia island.
The remaining part of the tower shows that this was once a huge building. It was a square building measuring 11.50μ✖11.25μ at the base. The preserved height (much less than the original) reaches 13.85m.
The period of contruction is not known. It must have been around the end of 14th century to early 15th century.
In the 1950s, a rarge part of the tower wa demolished. The meterials were used for the building of the school of the village.
