ELS PALLERS DE PEDRA
From 1,7 Km--> Two large rocks in the middle of the Aranyó plains, some people say they are the remains of two meteorites, others speak of differential erosion, in the village they say that the two barns were turned to stone by the selfishness of the his master by not feeding a beggar. They are surrounded by many legends, if on the night of St. John you pass near the stone barns, you will hear the groans of the owner of the barns who laments his selfishness. And if you count the stones in the pile next to the barns three times in a row without making a mistake the next day, you will change sex. Outside visit.
ROMAN COLUMBARIUM OF L'ARANYÓ
From 1,7Km.--> The Roman columbarium of L'Aranyó was a funerary construction from the Roman period, where the urns with the ashes of the dead were deposited. The columbarium dates between the 4th century (Christianization of the Roman Empire) and the 8th century (before the Muslim conquest of Catalonia). It consists of 8 niches excavated in the rock and 6 anthropomorphic tombs in the shape of a bathtub oriented East-West excavated in the rock above the row of niches. Although it was a break with previous funerary customs, it indicates a clear will to maintain the place as a necropolis, which would lead us to assert an identification with Roman tradition by the new ruling elite: the Visigoths.
