The excavation campaign of roman site of the Padrets of Blanes has made it possible to date the beginning of the population between the years 70 and 80 BC, about twenty years before what was known until now. the archaeologist Joan Llinàs has ruled out that it was an Iberian town, although he has pointed out that the inhabitants were possibly Iberians converted into Romans. Later, the Romans arrived and developed the city project that is still preserved, with a very orderly urban plot (straight streets and blocks of square or rectangular houses). On the other hand, theCity Council of Blanes has announced that at the beginning of the year work will begin to turn the site into a visitable space and the forecast is to open it to the public in the spring 2024.
