Part of the defensive system created between the 13th and 14th Century a. D. is lost due to modern and ancient destruction. σevertheless, thanks to the extensive restoration and to the studies conducted in recent years at the site, it was possible to conceive new information about the defensive structures. The recovery of moats and bridges both on the north and on the south sides of the abbey contributed to a better understanding of the complexity of the defences.
