about Roman Necropolis of Barcelona
The Roman Necropolis (Necrópolis Romana) of Barcelona contains 95 second and third century Roman tombs.
As with most Roman cities, Barcino (Barcelona) required all burials to take place outside of its city walls. Today, the Roman Necropolis can be seen in a small park within Barcelona, each grave marked with a small monument known as a “cupae”.
