Baetulo is a city founded by the Romans on a hill by the sea around 100 BC, where the city of Badalona is currently located. The walled enclosure of the city occupied an area of approximately 11 hectares and was part of a project of foundations near the Mediterranean coast. It is worth noting the exceptionality of Baetulo, given that in Catalonia there are few examples of cities currently inhabited that have remains of this magnitude. The declaration of Baetulo as a Cultural Asset of National Interest (BCIN) in 1995 definitively confirmed this exceptionality.
