The Pla de Santa Bárbara is a hill in the heart of the town of Montblanc, in fact a small plateau that rises about twenty meters from the surrounding land. This enclave was occupied by an Iberian settlement of the Cossetani tribe. The various archaeological excavations carried out in the twentieth century of the Iberian village documented a radius-shaped structure, with small rectangular houses attached to each other and silos that were used to store grain. The houses had a stone base and the elevation of adobe and plant elements. The dwellings were small, rectangular and with a fireplace. Along the wall, a construction bench served as a seat.
