| Summary: | The Torre de los Escipiones is a tower shape monument 6 km away from the city of Tarragona. Although it is incomplete, its good state of preservation makes it an iconic landmark of the area. It is an isolated construction in the landscape, which favours a certain misunderstanding. We believe it is necessary to develop a strategy to help its dissemination. In this case, the disclosure not only understood as the reconstruction of an hypothetical appearance in Roman times but also to imply the symbolic and social dimensions of Roman funerary world and how this is reflicted in its architecture. On the other hand, the Torre de los Escipiones has also been used as a study to test the ability of scientific research to connect with the disclosure to the public. That is, to develop from the working group itself the graphic sequence in which the work is shown: from the documentation of the remains to the analysis, interpretation and proposed restitution. Thus, not only the disclosure of the monument itself is achieved, but also demostrates how science contributes to the cultural enrichment of society.
