You will encounter them walking in the countryside, mainly north of ancient Selinus, at locations such as "Elliniko," "Mavragani," "Sentouka," "Priounos," but also in other spots like "Ditropo." These are essentially fortified farmhouses from the Classical (5th-4th century BC) and Hellenistic (end of the 4th - 1st century BC) periods, equipped with round or rectangular towers. These distinctive farmhouses served and protected farmers and the agricultural production process during dangerous times, but may also have been used for military purposes and for transmitting signals with torches (beacons).
