About Can Blai Roman castellum
The castellum of Can Blai is a small late-Imperial Roman fort, built between the end of the 3rd and the start of the 4th century AD: square, about 40 metres a side, with five projecting towers. Excavations found it was never finished. It stands at the highest point of the isthmus leading to La Mola, beside the road from La Savina at kilometre 10, and was declared a Site of Cultural Interest in 1994 (formentera.es).
