Adaptation of The Roman Ruins of Can Tacó in Barcelona, Spain by Toni GironesMay 21st, 2013 by Sumit Singhal
Article source: Toni Girones The archaeological site of Can Tacó in Turó d’en Roina, in the natural setting of Turons de les Tres Creus. In a highly fragmented metropolitan area, arises the need to project some places previous an area with a great natural and archaeological interests. Built by successive terracing and partly with site stone licorella, what had been an important settlement prior to construction of the Via Augusta, is today a natural viewpoint to the counties of Vallès. It intervenes in the backfill of Roman traces, improving the content (the space) and highlighting the container (the walls).  Image Courtesy © Aitor Estévez

These lands, just like the gravels and the rocks of the old supposedly Roman quarry, are selected and tidy, but with a new disposition, giving them a new meaning.

A second denser and thinner mesh is arranged like a curtain over a period of time, a backdrop where the various archaeological remains are projected.
