Resum
In these pages we will carry out a study and comprehensive assessment of the fortifications of two archaic Phoenician enclaves located in two geographical areas of maximum interest for the study of Colonial presence in Iberia: the Cerro del Castillo (Chiclana de la Frontera, Cadiz) and the Cabezo Pequeño del Estaño (Guardamar del Segura , Alicante). Both examples are, so far, the only known on occident presenting casemate-walls and phoenician modulation. This type of fortification is developed in the coastal environments of Syrian-Palestinian from the 12th century B.C. and they were moved to the extreme West during the 8th century BC, at a time where the Phoenicians needed a flexible, almost immediate and very effctive architecture, both militarily and for storage
