This monument is located in a Roman site from the 1st century. It is indisputable that this arch is the main symbol of this magical place. It is striking that it holds four semicircular arches on various pillars, resulting in a spectacular structure with four faces, each facing a different side (quadrifron structure). It is a unique construction in the Iberian Peninsula.

Arco de Cáparra

Highlight • Monument

The arch had a height of about 13 meters. It is a quadriform arch that rises on four pillars that form four semicircular arches. Each pillar sits on a base topped by a cornice. On the sides facing the Roman road there are pedestals on which probably representative statues or effigies of the time were placed. It is the only arch of this type that is preserved in Spain.

Of uncertain origin, the population of Cáparra became a municipium of Rome with the emperor Vespasian. Its privileged location on the Vía de la Plata fueled its growth.
