Portions of Roman monuments and engineering are still present in Barcelona today. For example, the columns are maintained today and are used as a part of the structure in an apartment building. The fact that so many parts of Roman engineering are still functional is a testament to how advanced the Romans actually were.
Roman painting
The museum was full of domestic objects as well. Things such as pottery for serving food and beverages appeared to be well crafted and in surprisingly good condition. Objects like candle holders seemed to be both functional and decorative. The painting that was done directly on the wall was quite impressive considering it was still in such good condition.
Wine production
A large portion of the museum was composed of rooms that were used to produce food and wine. The Romans had a large effect on wine production in Catalunya considering they brought it here. Wine is so important to Catalan culture and lifestyle so it is clear that the Romans had a lasting effect on the people and culture of Catalunya.
