This is an archaeological site of an old bloomery or tile and brick production oven, located around 200 metres over the beauty spot of la Tosca. The inhabitants of the town participated in this project to recover the heritage along with different scientific institutions.
It is a building with a quadrangular layout with dry stone, essentially comprising two spaces separated by the grille: the lower zone with the oven and the upper one, the cooking zone, where the materials to be cooked, tiles and bricks, were placed.
It is thought that its operation was not regular like at an industrial level, but rather that it obeyed the needs of the tiles and bricks the town had.
Nearby you will find the beautify spot “La Tosca del Pinetar”, a rocky formation several dozen metres thick that has been forming from the slow continued storage of the calcium carbonate dissolved into the water from the fountain of la Tosca, which has left us with an amazing waterfall where the rock traps the plant remains that take the form of stalks and leaves.
