ARCH OF CÁPARRA Oliva de Plasencia Crossroads This four-sided quadriphon arch is unique in Spain. It was located in the centre of the Roman city of Capera, today Caparra, a city of great mercantile importance due to its location on the Vía de la Plata (Silver Route). The arch was surrounded by the main monuments, such as the baths, whose remains can still be seen today.
