Cova B de Vespella

Ínfima coveta troglodítica al turó del castell de Vespella

Vespella de Gaià • Tarragonès2m0

A tiny troglodytic cave on the hill of Vespella castle, about 3.5 metres wide and 2 metres deep, closed by a wall and reused.

Characteristics

Location

We park the vehicle comfortably in a very well-kept small square, located to the N of the hill where the castle of Vespella stood. From here we head towards the wall in front of us and by some fine steps carved into the rock we reach cave B.

Other details

The cave is closed by a wall and reused more recently, since almost in the middle a tank for liquids has been excavated, a kind of vat, with an entrance opening.
