After the last heavy rains at the beginning of summer, the Llobregat river descends to its fullest with this chocolate color at the Pont de Vilomara, as we see in the Photos of the Readers of La Vanguardia.
With the last rainfalls, the Llobregat river is moving down with earth sediments at the level of the well-preserved Pont de Vilomara (Bages).
Sediment is a solid material accumulated on the earth's surface derived from the actions of phenomena and processes that act in the atmosphere, in this case, rain.
The first bridge in Vilomara over the Llobregat river has existed since ancient times and was made of wood, as evidenced by some holes under the arch of the current one.
In Roman times, where the wooden bridge was, the stone bridge was built, the "Villa Amara bridge", following the royal path that went from Bages to Barcino, passing through the Sant Llorenç mountain and through the region of Valles. "Amara" is Latin for submerged.
In the 5th century, during the invasion of the Roman Empire, the royal road was probably one of the penetration paths of the invaders.
