Arc de Berà

A single-span arch with restrained decoration, read as a territorial marker on the Via Augusta at the limit of Tàrraco's territory. The inscription across the entablature records the name of the consul who commissioned it, which is how the monument is dated and attributed at all. It stands in the middle of the old N-340 roadway at kilometre 1183, and joined the World Heritage list in 2000 as part of the Tarraco ensemble.
