From the north end of the Rambla Vella the Vía del Imperio runs east to the Puerta del Rosario (Catalan Portal de Roser), which dates from the sixth or fifth century B.C. This is the starting-point of the Paseo Arqueológico round the massive ancient cyclopean walls enclosing the highest part of the town, which are preserved almost without interruption for a length of 1,000m/1,100yd, standing to heights of between 3m/10ft and 10m/35ft.
