They are built in such a way as to prevent animals, such as mice, from climbing into the barn.

The key feature of these granaries—which were always deliberately built on stilts—is the flat, plate- or lid-shaped top at the top of the supporting pillars. This special construction feature for the "horreos" was vitally important in ancient times: these elements represented an insurmountable obstacle for voracious rodents such as rats and mice, thus protecting the harvest from these unwelcome guests.
