Roman heritage on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea

Tarragona was an important Roman administrative and commercial city and a central hub for the Iberian provinces. Its legacy is still visible today, as it preserves an archaeological ensemble declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2000.

The city’s cultural life is deeply rooted in its museums and open-air monuments, a direct result of its imperial past.

Tarragona is also a city that faces the sea, with fifteen kilometres of coastline and stunning, unspoilt beaches.

From Tarragona, it is also possible to travel along the southern coast of Catalunya all the way to the spectacular Ebro Delta, visit Cistercian monasteries, and explore wine and cava routes through the region.
