A tower next to the deserted monastery of Agia Triada (holy Trinity) around 500 m from the picturesque village Zaroucla in Achaea.
The church is post-Byzantine dated in the 15th or 16th century. The frescos inside are from the late 18th century.
The tower was built probably in the first half of the 18th century judging from the similarities with other buildings of the Ottoman period in Greece. Apparently, it was not part of the monastery..
