Argentine Tower Zone
The Argentine Tower is a building from the fifteenth century built by Bishop Burckhard of Strasbourg, then head of the diocese of Argenturatum, from whence comes its name.
In the broad zone of the Argentine, four temples from the republican period were found during the excavations of 1926 to 1930: temple A, on a rectangular plan, was erected in the third century B.C.; temple B, on a circular plan, is the most recent of the four, built in 101 B.C. by Lutazio Catullus; temple C, the oldest, was built in the third and fourth centuries B.C.; temple D dates to 200 B.C. and is thought to be dedicated to Lari Permarini. To the west of this zone is the Argentine theatre, whose facade dates to the eighteenth century. |
