The Can Valls glue kilns are three large oval-shaped ceramic containers, each about 2m high, side by side, located on the upper edge of the Can Valls path. One of the ovens is preserved almost intact. According to tradition, these are three kilns dating from the ninth century. Glue, a viscous, dark substance, was obtained by slowly cooking pine and holm oak stumps, and was used as a fuel for street lighting and for waterproofing ships and containers.
