Journey back to the era of the Iberian people. Here, nestled in the Serra de Collserola, stands the Forn ibèric, a relic of a time long past. The Forn ibèric whispers stories of ancient craftsmanship, a testament to the ingenuity of the Iberian civilization. This well-preserved structure dates back to the 2nd and 1st centuries BC, the low Republican Roman period. The Forn ibèric isn’t just a pile of old stones. It’s a window into the daily lives of the people who inhabited this land centuries ago. Imagine the heat radiating from the square firing chamber, the rhythmic clang of tools shaping clay, and the scent of smoke rising into the air. This kiln, located near the Sant Adjutori hermitage, sits beside the old Roman road from Barcino to Sant Cugat. The Forn ibèric was a vital part of the local economy. It served a crucial purpose: producing tiles and other construction materials. It also likely fired pottery for everyday use. In 2003, this ancient kiln underwent a complete restoration, allowing us to appreciate its original design. The Forn ibèric still showcases the firing chamber and remnants of the baking chamber. It offers a tangible connection to the Iberian and early Roman settlers who once thrived in this region. The Forn ibèric stands as a silent witness to the passage of time, a reminder of the rich history that lies beneath our feet.
