Roman legacy on the Mediterranean coast
Tarraco was an important Roman trading city and a centre of communications for all the Iberian provinces, a legacy that is still visible today, as part of the city was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 2000.
At the heart of the cultural life of the city there are ten museums and open-air monuments, a reflection of its imperial past.
Tarragona is also a city that looks to the sea, with fifteen kilometres of coastline containing ten beaches of breathtaking beauty.
From Tarragona you can travel along the southern coast of Catalonia to the spectacular Ebro Delta, visit three Cistercian monasteries and follow a route to taste the wines and cava produced in the region.
