It provided "Soldo" Miocene limestone with tones between white and pink, golden generally clear.

The quarry is very close to the Roman Via Augusta, a major imperial communication channel whose track follows the current national road 340 between Barcelona and Tarragona.

This route was used to transport some 50,000 cubic meters of stone, mainly along the 6 km that separate the quarries of Tarraco.

The quarry can be visited easily from the National Road 340 or from the AP-7, by La Mora.

The quarry is included in the UNESCO World Heritage of the archaeological complex of Tarraco.
