Jaciment arqueològic de l'Esquerda

Jaciment arqueològic de l'Esquerda is an archaeological site in Les Masies de Roda featuring remains of ancient settlements spread across the landscape. The area includes both original excavations and a research zone with reconstructed buildings, plus a museum displaying artifacts found on the grounds.

The site shows settlement traces from the 8th century BCE through the 14th century, with remains of Iberian and medieval communities. Systematic excavations beginning in 1977 have documented this long span of over 2000 years of human presence.

The research area displays reconstructed structures and demonstrations of ancient crafts, showing how people lived and worked in this place long ago. Visitors can watch how daily tasks like bread making and metalwork were performed in past centuries.

The excavation area is accessible daily, though the museum operates only four days each week. The experimental research area requires advance booking if you want to visit and participate in activities.

The grounds contain an experimental area of about 1600 square meters where visitors can watch demonstrations of ancient techniques like bread making and bronze casting. This hands-on archaeology lets you experience the skills and methods used by earlier inhabitants.
