This well of almost 6.5 m., Demonstrates the great water wealth of the Plana de Guissona in ancient times, which favored the maintenance of the old town until the 7th century AD. The well is located outside the wall near the northern entrance of the city and is part of a kind of nightlife for travelers who arrived at the site once the access was closed. This building would have been active between the beginning of the S. and D.C. and the end of s. II.

Guissona has an archaeological park opened in 2011 and financed with an ERDF fund, which is one of the headquarters of the UAB Archeology and Paleontology Campus:
