North of the Savoy Fort, below the declivity, lies the acropolis of the Punic city. Its fortifications rested on the natural rocky outcrops. The area had several phases of use that followed one another between the Punic and late Roman ages. The oldest remains refer to Punic fortifications. One can still see a section of the walls that defended the acropolis, which were built from squared ignimbrite blocks using the double facing technique. A section of wall with an east-west direction, with a maximum height of 1.50 m, remains in good condition. The typology of the walls, in the absence of secure excavation data, allows dating them to the 4th century BC. To the south of the fortified complex insist the remains of a structure from the Roman period, interpreted as a place of worship. The base of the building consists of a plinth, preserved for an east-west length of about 10 m, on which stands a colonnade of which nine columns remain. This floor was paved at two successive times: the oldest floor is the one visible south of the columns, of the type known as “opus signinum,” i.e., earthenware mixed with white tesserae; later this was covered with a layer of darker earthenware, preserved between the columns and the outer edge of the building. The temple had a front on the east, as on the west the structure is closed.
