The central tower is the oldest and tallest (18.6m high), built in blocks of basalt between 17C and 13C BCE. Later, during the Late Bronze Age, four towers joined by a wall with an upper balcony were built around the central tower, all accessing an inner courtyard. During the Iron Age, the complex was surrounded by a curtain wall with seven lobes (remember the drawing?).
