the Via Augusta, now the N-340 road.
Its name derives from the count Berà. It is a triumphal arch with a single opening consisting of a central body on a podium, decorated with fluted pilasters crowned by Corinthian capitals. The upper part of the construction is an entablature made up of architrave, frieze and cornice. The stone used is probably from a local quarry.
The monument was erected in the reign of Augustus, around 13 BCE. It was later restored at the beginning of the 2nd century CE pursuant to terms of the will of Lucius Licinius Sura, as reflected in a surviving inscription on the entablature that reads: “Ex testamento L(uci) Licini L(uci) f(ilii) Serg (ia tribu) Surae consa[...]”. It is thought it was dedicated to Augustus or to his genius, and that it marked the limit of the district of Tarraco.
