Archaeological news in the neighborhood of Coll i Pujol

Between the months of July and August 2024, an archaeological intervention has been carried out on Santa Bàrbara street, in the neighborhood of Coll i Pujol. As a result of this intervention, several elements have been discovered that span a chronological range from the Roman era to the contemporary era, and which have been preserved at a great depth.

The archaeological works, which have been carried out by the company ÀTICS SL under the direction of the archaeologist Iñaki Moreno, have been promoted by the ownership of the plot. Monitoring has been done from the Museum of Badalona under the supervision of the Archeology and Paleontology Service of the Generalitat de Catalunya.

We are in a space that in recent years has been the subject of the discovery of several archaeological remains belonging to the western suburb of the Roman city of Baetulo, and medieval and modern agricultural spaces. In this sense, two funerary buildings have been partially documented of which only the foundations are preserved. Of note is a tower-shaped mausoleum that would be at the foot of the Via Augusta, from the 1st century AD. The remains of a room that was part of a rural establishment from the 4th century AD have also been very partially preserved. In another part of the site, the remains of two walls that functioned as agricultural parcels and a well from the late medieval period have been excavated.

The archaeological work, which has already been completed, will increase knowledge of the peri-urban areas of the city. The archaeological control and monitoring will continue until the execution of the planned building.
