"Eastern Tower"

It is the most preserved tower of the defensive precinct and the one in which is more clearly appreciated a type of construction, with layers of smaller and properly cut stones, sensibly different to the used ones in the wall.

Although we have not still been able to determine accurately the date in which these additaments were built, it seems that an opportune moment would be around the 4th or 3rd centuries B.C., perhaps in a moment lightly previous to the Second Punic War.
