Via Augusta

The Via Augusta was with about 1,500 km, the longest Roman Road in Hispania and was an extension of the Via Domitia from Rome by the Pyrenees, along the Mediterranean to the present-day Cádiz. It formed the main axis of the Roman road network in Spain.

Over the centuries, they wore different names, such as Via Herculea or Via Heraclea, Street of Hannibal. But it was the Emperor Augustus, whose name she received due to the comprehensive conversions under his rule. Especially in the years 8 BC to 2 BC it developed into an important trade and transport route between the cities, provinces and Mediterranean ports.

They crossed the Pyrenees at Col de Panissars near La Junquera and crosses Tarraco (Tarragona ), Barcelona and Valencia. The Via crossed at Martorell the Llobregat river to the Devil's Bridge, the impressive Gothic bridge subsequently rests on the foundations of the Roman bridge.
