The Old Born Market

image du point d'intérêt

The Old Born Market exhibits a building of iron architecture, a current within Catalan modernism, which made use of this resistant material for a notable structure and a complicated roof of flat glazed tiles.

In February 2002, during restoration works, even older remains of the Roman city and the La Ribera neighborhood appeared under the Old Market, destroyed and buried during the War of Succession to build the Citadel.

The remains are preserved in excellent condition, the urban typology of that time is observed and it seems that all the buildings had been cut at the same level. Today these archaeological remains are a museum that can be visited as another tour of the city's history.
