Around 2,500 years ago, Calafell was inhabited by a group of Iberians who constructed a massive fortress between the current centre of Calafell and Segur. When the Romans arrived, the fortress was abandoned and lay covered over until recently when archaeologists began to unearth it. It is now possible to walk through the fortress and explore the various buildings.
