Archaeological Site of Creiro

Highlight • Historical Site

The archaeological site consists of a Roman industrial complex for the production of fish salting. It included a factory, a bathhouse, and warehouses.
The factory building was built in the third quarter of the 1st century and underwent renovations at the end of the same century, increasing the number of tanks. It remained in operation until the 4th and 5th centuries.
The salting tanks, where the fish (sardines and mackerel) were marinated in salt, have opus signinum-coated bottoms and walls. For hygiene reasons, sharp edges were avoided during their construction, opting instead for "half-round" edges.
The bathhouse had hot baths (caldarium) and cold baths (frigidarium), contemporary with the operation of the fish salting factory.

Instead of parking at the top of the road, you can also drive a little further down.
