Among the towers that have been identified on Amorgos, the one in Agia Triada, next to the church of the same name, also known as the ‘Tower in the Village’, has stood out because of its state of preservation since 1841, when the monument was visited by Ludwig Ross. The current form of the monument, cleared of vegetation but even more so of more recent additions that altered its form, were carried out under the guidance and supervision of Prof. Lila Marangou from 1993 to 2002. Moreover, its satisfactory static state and the good condition of its building material, but above all the clarification of the elements of its surrounding area, are due to the same various works of investigation, cleaning, promoting and protection then achieved. The monument was fully published by Marangou after this last bout of renovation in a volume of the Archaeological Society of Athens.
