In the middle of the balcony we find some stairs that lead us towards the roman amphiteather.
On the first landing of the stairs we find an old stone sundial that illustrates how humanity has had time for thousands of years. Those years in which the rooster woke people up with his song at dawn and punctuality, far from being measured in minutes, was to meet at noon and arrive between 12 and 1, while the sun passed by in the upper part of your tour.
Due to its shape, the language of its inscriptions and its smooth stone surface, perfectly polished by the erosion of the wind over the years, suggest that it is probably from Roman times.
The clock has the hours carved with Roman numerals and has an ancient Latin inscription carved into the stone that reads:
“Solem di texi te qve sol hic si manes, Tarraconis vrit amor”
Sundial Type: Horizontal - Flat base, Ground or Pedestal mounted dial plate
