Barcelona is the most important coastal resort at the Mediterranean today but this was not always so: at times of the old romans Tarragona was still the pulsating center while Barcelona was a little fishing village. The impressive ruins of the amphitheater as well as many other buildings can be inspected certainly today. And also otherwise Tarragona is an attractive town to stroll, shop or to enjoy Tapas. In addition, a Tarragona visit can always be connected to a day on the beach.
Except for the ancient amphitheater you will find a palace as well as the city walls here from the 2nd century. In addition a well received Roman aqueduct and the Romance Gothic cathedral.
