[citation needed] Hispania (modern Spain and Portugal) was one of if not the richest Roman province in the case of mineral ore from around the first century BC.

Containing deposits of the metals (gold, silver, copper, tin, lead, iron, and mercury), it was very rich in resources.

From its acquisition during the Punic Wars to the Fall of Rome, Iberia continued to produce a significant amount of Roman metals.

The position of the outer openings was dominated by the view that results from this point, located on a Roman road on the one kilometer distant confluence of the rivers Zêzere and Gaia.

Meanwhile, several archeological prospection campaigns in the surrounding areas, carried out during the 1960s and 1990s, indicate that the tower was most likely a villa, being an integral part of the pars urbana.
