The various quarries of the mountains show the importance of geological material for the creation of infrastructure and several buildings from Roman times until the end of 1957 holdings.
In this sense, around the foundations of the old Castle Harbour, on Fossar Pedrera and opposite the sea front south of the cemetery, allows us to establish connections between different geological history of the mountain for millions of years until the construction of the city over the centuries.
Even today we can find the remains of conglomerates for 15 million years -Miocè- next to the remains of the old Castle Harbour, walking path, are good examples of various fossils (shells, oysters, snails or crabs) if we look carefully. Its origin we look for when this area was the "beach" which ended materials from sea erosion Collserola.
