Abstract


This work schematically presents the results of archaeological analysis of the torre banderiza (a type of tower particular to the Basque Country) of Murga (Ayala, Álava) and makes use of these —in combination with results found at similar towers— to establish a proposal of interpretation of the spatial basis of this type of tower. The work highlights, among other aspects, the importance of the platform/ scaffold and the inexistence of ground floor access in this type of construction. Lastly the work summarises the criteria which, in the authors’ opinion, should be followed in analysing a tower of these characteristics.
