The columbarium of Vila-Rodona



This 2nd century funerary structure is probably related to the nearby villa, located on the left bank of the River Gaià. It is a square construction of ashlars on a podium with arch-shaped decorations. The central body has mock Doric pilasters and a double sloping tile roof. The interior walls still preserve part of the original stucco and the six small niches(loculi), where the urns containing the ashes of the deceased were placed. The building has recently undergone extensive restoration work.
