The local experience
2nd-century amphitheater by the sea, where gladiator combats and animal shows took place. It is part of the Tarraco ensemble, a World Heritage Site, and the arena preserves the remains of a Visigothic basilica and a medieval church.
Roman tower at the top of the city, connected to the vaulted galleries of the 1st-century circus where chariot races ran. From the tower terrace you can see the Part Alta, the port and the sea.
Cathedral of Saint Tecla, at the highest point of the Part Alta, built from the 12th century on the site of an old Roman temple. It blends Romanesque and Gothic styles and has a large cloister, with the Diocesan Museum beside it.
A landscaped walk that skirts part of the Part Alta between the Roman wall of the 2nd century BC and the fortifications built in the 18th century. It shows the different phases of the wall and offers views of the Camp de Tarragona.
Section of the Ferreres Roman aqueduct, about 4 km from the center, with two rows of arches over a tree-filled valley. It carried water from the Francolí River to Tarraco and can be crossed on foot along the upper channel.
