The Megalithic Stone at La Sitja del Llop

The oldest remains to be found at Montseny lie in the surrounding plain. The first definite dates of human settlement of the mountain range are indicated by Megalithic sepulchres, the dolmens. Since the time of the Iberians, the defensive wall on the hill of El Montgròs is the most important prehistoric archaeological site of the area. The Romans with their colonisation expansion around the Mediterranean exported their urban and productive model to the entire empire, so too with the Montseny, where they co-existed with the Iberian population for some time. The Romans were none too fond of mountains however, and chose the plains as their habitat.
