OUTLINE:

The site of Sant Pau de Riu-sec, with its Romanesque church is located south of the town of Sabadell (Barcelona). The archaeological work carried out during  2007-2008 and until 2015 has uncovered important archaeological remains and a sequence and superposition of settlements from Republican Roman times to the present.

We have identified five phases:

SPR-olles

  • Phase 1. Republican Roman period (2nd c. BC.): Great building with many rooms. Fire and collapse levels.
  • Phase 2. The imperial Roman villa (1st – 2nd c. AD.): Part of a Roman villa with opus signinumm pavements.
  • Phase 3. The Carolingian settlement (8th – 10th c.): Silos and a necropolis with anthropomorphic tombs (9th – 10th c.).
  • Phase 4. The Romanesque church, and it’s necropolis (11th – 13th c.): Vast necropolis with a complicated stratigraphic sequence. It has also been uncovered some buildings that could be related to he ownership and possession of Riu-sec by the Order of the Temple, between the 12th and 13th c.
  • Phase 5. Evolution of the church and the parish in late medieval and modern period (15th – 18th c).
