Remains of an ancient signaling tower, possibly of Roman origin, which, together with other towers in the valley, formed an early defense system against potential invasions by lighting fires to alert the population. These types of towers, generally with a square base and around 20 meters in height, were built in easily visible locations that maintained visual communication with other similar outposts scattered throughout the territory, allowing dangers to be communicated from one to another. In fact, not far away on the other side of the valley, the toponym *Tòr di Teveron* recalls the presence of another structure whose traces were visible until a few decades ago. The earliest known documentary evidence of the Torècia di Cepina dates back to a sales deed from 1417, in which, among various lands being transferred, the “pezia de la Torazia” located in Slengua (modern-day Scleva) is mentioned. The use of the derogatory form (also in the variants Toreza or Torazza) already indicated the ruined state of the ancient fortification, of which only two walls survive today. Indeed, in the immediate postwar period, the tower was partially dismantled, and its perfectly squared stones were used to construct a section of the embankment of the nearby Adda River. Around 1980, some volunteers worked to consolidate what remained of the ancient tower by inserting cement mortar into the joints and placing some stones and a cross at the top.
