Romanesque bell tower from the 11th–12th centuries, belonging to a now-ruined church dedicated to Sant Martí. Today, it stands as an isolated tower attached to the ruins of the former church, within the cemetery of the nearby village of Bescaran. It is a slender, square-plan tower with six storeys. The first two levels have no windows, while the third has a long arrow slit on each side. The upper three storeys feature twin windows open to the four winds, with a Lombard-style frieze of blind arches. The top level separates the openings with a column supported by corbel-like capitals. The masonry consists of small, irregular stones, and the roof, made of slate, is pyramidal in shape.
