Roman roads were built from around 300 BC and were an important infrastructure for the expansion and maintenance of the Roman Empire. In Spain, the longest and most important Roman road was the Via Augusta, which connected the Pyrenees along the Mediterranean coast with Gades, the present-day Cadiz. Visible remains related to the Via Augusta are the Arc de Berà (Tarraco WHS), Arc de Cabanes, Castillo de Sagunto and the necropolis and amphitheatre in Carmona.
