El Bovalar

The archaeological complex contains a basilica with three naves, a baptistery, a necropolis, and residential structures arranged around communal areas.

The settlement and basilica, established in the 5th century during the Visigothic period, were destroyed by fire in 713 AD during Muslim invasions.

The site reveals extensive evidence of agricultural activities through discovered tools, grain remnants, wool processing equipment, and an oil press facility.

Excavations conducted between 1943 and 1987 uncovered numerous artifacts, including liturgical vessels and a bronze thurible, now displayed at Lleida Museum.

The baptistery features a reinforced barrel vault supported by six columns forming horseshoe arches, demonstrating advanced architectural techniques of the period.
