Arch of Berà

Monument · Roda de Berà, Tarragonès, Tarragona

A Roman honorific arch situated in Roda de Berà (Tarragonès), about twenty kilometres north of Tarragona, over the course of the old Via Augusta, today beneath the N-340 road. It was erected by testamentary disposition of Luci Licini Sura at the end of the 1st century BC and dedicated to the emperor Augustus, possibly to mark the boundaries of the territory dependent on Tárraco. It has a single opening and is built of local ashlar, with eight fluted pilasters topped by Corinthian capitals that support an entablature bearing an inscription referring to its construction.
