At MUHBA Domus Sant Honorat, an archaeological site on Carrer de la Fruita in Barcelona’s Ciutat Vella, Roman and medieval remains share the same ground. See mosaics and grain-storage silos cut into Roman floors, and traces of the medieval Jewish Quarter. The remains include a 4th-century Roman home and date from periods spanning the 4th to the 14th centuries. The site is small, so allow about 20 minutes to explore it with the printed historical information provided on site.
Roman remains beneath the medieval quarter
The archaeological site brings together remains from Roman Barcino and Barcelona’s medieval Jewish Quarter. The Roman layers include a 4th-century home and mosaics. Medieval silos used to store grain were dug through the earlier Roman floors, so the two periods can be seen in the same space.
