A beautiful example of a funerary tower built in the first century located in Tarragona

The Romans used to bury their dead in funeral towers. This tower, built in the first century, is a fine example of such a structure. In its upper part was the burial chamber which contained the ashes. Although it was believed for a long time that the tower served as a tomb for the Scipio brothers (hence its current name), Roman generals and heroes, archaeological research carried out in the 20th century has refuted this thesis: the construction is at least two centuries later than the death of the generals!
