Roman Ovens of the Fornaca

The Roman ovens of the Fornaca are ancient Roman structures in the archaeological site of Fornaca at Vilassar de Dalt, Catalonia [1]. They were used for the industrial production of large ceramic materials [1]. Based on their typology, the materials found in the excavation, and study of their magnetic properties, archaeologists have dated the ovens 1 and 2 to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD [1]. The name Fornaca, documented for the first time in 1290 at the castle of Speculum Vilassar, gives clues about the antiquity of the area of industrial production [1].
