“The hamlet of Bisserots is a village from the Moorish era, made up of various dwellings and with construction techniques that date back to the 15th-16th centuries.

The name Bisserots, according to Joan Ivars, comes from the Arabic personal name Byzar, with the Catalan pejorative ending -ot. The complex has buildings typical of medium-sized farms.

It stands out because of its buttress in the southern part which has a sundial made with a pumice stone plate and an access with a semi-circular arch made with pumice stones. This settlement exploited the land around it, a part of which was for irrigation crops and the majority for dryland farming.

The well would have supplied the entire hamlet of Bisserots with water and distributed part of it to an irrigation system for vegetable gardening. The well is built on an old elliptic-shaped waterwheel dating from the 16th century. The construction of the well is from a later date, from the 18th century. The leftover water was sent through a ditch that took it to a pond from which it was then distributed to various terraces with vegetable gardens. It is a very well-preserved hydraulic set that has had very few transformations.” (1)
