It is was probably built to protect the citizens of the areafrom invading armies and persecution. Among other things, it included: Domestic chambers that functioned as homes for individual families, Stables for livestock, lots of storage for preserved food, wineries and oil presses, a school and a church.

It also had ventilation and access to water through deep wells.
