The terramares were surrounded by imposing and complex defensive works<\/strong>highlighted by archaeological excavations. Fortifications could have consisted of \"wooden 'gabions<\/strong> filled with the spoil from the excavation of the moat, as in the terramara of Castione dei Marchesi, near Parma.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n
\n\t

More often, the perimeter defence consisted of a land filling surmounted by a palisade<\/strong> of wood, as is also attested in Montale, where excavations in the 19th century brought to light an embankment at least 10 metres wide and about 3-4 metres high, to which the height of the palisade was added.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t

We do not know whether the Montale embankment was built after the collapse of a pre-existing 'gabion' wall, of which no trace has been found in the excavations. It is however likely that some wooden buttresses<\/strong> were used at least at the entrance gates to the village with the dual function of containing the embankment and reinforcing the defensive structure.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The gates to the terramares were presumably equipped with watchtowers and defence towers from where archers could contain enemy attacks, as attested by contemporary examples of stone architecture<\/strong> peninsular Italy and central Europe.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t

The reconstruction project for access to the Terramara di Montale open-air museum envisages a structure composed of two pairs of 'gabions' acting as defence turrets that contain the embankment on both sides, leaving a central passageway.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t<\/div> \n\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t
