Ethnographic element Arc de l'Almudaina

The street called carrer de l’Almudaina follows the layout of a decumana minor of the Roman town. On the opposite side to the house called Can Oleo some Baroque buildings still stand, and in the subsoil under them remains of houses from the Islamic era have been identified.

The City Council has used these spaces for administrative and cultural purposes. The houses in question are named after the families who owned them - Oms (number 7 of the street) and Bordils (number 9), which later belonged to the Villalonga Escalada family, as can be seen from the noble coats of arms of the two large windows that have a Gothic structure, even though they are decorated in Renaissance style. In the subsoil under this house remains of the Roman wall have been found, and an open-air space has been designed to enable one to see the Roman plinth comprised of large irregular stones, the additions from the Islamic era made of narrow clefts, and the modern additions that resulted in the Bordils house, now occupied by the Municipal Archives. Beside Can Bordils stands the Almudaina gateway, a Gothic construction on the very site where one of the Roman gateways to the town would have stood.
