Holiday apartment in Guissona: Roman Heritage and Via Verda

Guissona combines Roman history with a route that can be explored by mountain bike or on foot, as well as with cultural and scenic destinations in the wider region. Anyone looking for a holiday apartment in Guissona can tailor their stay to their preferred holiday pace: archaeological discoveries, an evening with a Roman focus or activity in the countryside. This creates a destination with different ideas for each day, without every activity having to follow the same theme.

Discover Roman Guissona

At the Parc Arqueològic of the city of Iesso, a guided tour is offered on Saturdays and Sundays at 12 noon. The Guissona Museum presents a reconstruction of a representative Roman house. The two locations have different focuses: at the Parc, the guided tour at a fixed weekend time is the main feature, while the museum brings an ancient form of housing to life.

Roman history with a culinary side

As part of Capvespres a la Romana, a Roman dinner is historically reconstructed. The Portal de l’Àngel offers a different historical accent: it is the only surviving one of Guissona’s three medieval city gates. Those interested in history will therefore find both Roman and medieval points of reference in Guissona.

A circular route for active days

The Via Verda de Guissona is an approximately 17 km circular route that can be explored by mountain bike or on foot. Its approximate length helps with personal day planning without prescribing a particular mode of transport. The Fonts del Estany already existed in Roman times and supplied the houses and gardens of the ancient city of Iesso with water.
