Via Sepulcral Romana

In the northwest corner of the Barri Gòtic is a sunken open-air garden where a series of Roman tombs from the 1st to 3rd century CE were uncovered in the 1940s, after a 1588 Carmelite convent was demolished.

A small interpretation center in Spanish and Catalan explores burial and funerary rites and customs; pieces of pottery (including a burial amphora with the skeleton of a three-year-old Roman child) accompany the display. As the burial ground sits in the open air, you can see the tombs at any time.
