Hornos púnicos de Torre Alta, Archaeological site in San Fernando, Spain.
The Hornos Púnicos de Torre Alta contains multiple ancient ovens used for producing pottery and amphorae during the Punic period in Spain.
These industrial structures, discovered in 1987 by the Municipal Archaeological Group of San Fernando, operated between the 6th and 1st centuries BCE.
The complex manufactured amphoras and containers specifically designed for fish preservation, demonstrating the economic activities of ancient Mediterranean societies.
Two smaller ovens from the archaeological complex are currently exhibited at the Municipal Historical Museum of San Fernando for public viewing.
The site includes metal and glass structures that house the late-Punic pottery workshop of Torre Alta and two of four large Phoenician ovens from Camposoto Sector III.
