Carrers Lluís Domènech i Muntaner i Antoni Gaudí

The archaeological site of the Barenys Roman villa is comprised of the remains of a deposit from the Roman era dating back to between the end of the 1st century BC to the middle of the 2nd century. The archaeological site consists of the rectangular foundation of a building used for ceramic production: construction materials and amphorae for transport and wine exportation. A circular ceramic kiln is still in extremely good condition and, next to it, the remains of a large space with columns where the potters worked the clay pieces. The pottery workshop was supplied with water from an aqueduct that was dug into the rock, transporting it from the Barenys ravine.

Presently it's closed and there are no guided tours.
