Iberian settlement that was inhabited between the fourth and first century BC.
It was built in times of tribal strife, so a plateau at 300m was chosen. of altitude, in the first buttresses of Ardenya on the Ridaura valley. On the side with the easiest access, it was defended by a wall. It had a water tank and about thirty silos, dug into the rocky soil, where the grain that allowed the town to be fed was kept. There are also signs of a central street.
