A BRIEF HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION
Capital of Tarragona province, it was established by the Iberians, a group that inhabited between the 6th centuries BC and II BC, and later conquered by the Romans who called it Tarraco and established it as the capital of the province of Citerior, and in the imperial era of the province of Tarraconeun province, making it one of the most important cities. In the 5th century it was invaded by the Germanicans and in the 8th century it was occupied and razed by Muslims. After a period of decline, the city's prosperity was restored in the 12th century, when it was occupied by Ramón Berenguer III el Grande, Count of Barcelona at 1109, playing an active role in the expansion of the Crown of Aragon during the 13th and 14th centuries, with large medieval constructions, urban expansion, and a municipal government. The great war convulsions of the 17th and 18th centuries and the general political fall culminated in 1811 in the French War. Its ultimate rehabilitation occurred in the middle of the 20th century. The city was declared the provincial capital and maritime trade, especially wine, defined the beginning of a new economic and urban expansion that the current city set up. The industrial boom of the '60s has represented a large demographic increase and has established the city as a tourist destination for its coast. In 2000, the archaeological site of Tarraco was declared Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

Torre de los Escipiones: Popular name that receives the funerary monument near the Via Augusta in the 1st century AD.

Roman Aqueduct: Known as Puente del Diablo, it is a sign of the long channeling that brought water into the city from the Francolí River and one of the best Hispanic examples of arcade water supply. The water was collected in the Rourell area, 92 meters above sea level and driven more than 10 km through different pipelines and aqueducts of different measures. Built in the 1st century AD, it is made up of 2 arcade floors. In the Ferreres area, it has a length of 217 meters, a maximum height of 27 meters and a width of almost 2 meters. The upper row has 25 arches and the lower 11, with about 5'90 meters of light.
Villa de los Munts: Roman villa owned by an important character linked to the province's management, a display of the private luxury of the residences of the country aristocracy. It must have been built during the 1st century and it is believed to have been occupied until the 6th or 7th. It is located in Altafulla, 10 km from Tarragona, on a small hill near the sea. At the top of the hill are the cisterns that stocked it with water, and along the slope is the residential area and two sets of hot springs along the slope. The richness of the statues, pavements, wall paintings, mosaic emblems, and marble columns that have been found leave no doubt about the importance of their owners. In summer there's a staged visit.

TARRAGONA – GUIA TURISTICA
A BRIEF HISTORICAL DESCRIPTION
Capital of Tarragona province, it was established by the Iberians, a group that inhabited between the 6th centuries BC and II BC, and later conquered by the Romans who called it Tarraco and established it as the capital of the province of Citerior, and in the imperial era of the province of Tarraconeun province, making it one of the most important cities. In the 5th century it was invaded by the Germanicans and in the 8th century it was occupied and razed by Muslims. After a period of decline, the city's prosperity was restored in the 12th century, when it was occupied by Ramón Berenguer III el Grande, Count of Barcelona at 1109, playing an active role in the expansion of the Crown of Aragon during the 13th and 14th centuries, with large medieval constructions, urban expansion, and a municipal government. The great war convulsions of the 17th and 18th centuries and the general political fall culminated in 1811 in the French War. Its ultimate rehabilitation occurred in the middle of the 20th century. The city was declared the provincial capital and maritime trade, especially wine, defined the beginning of a new economic and urban expansion that the current city set up. The industrial boom of the '60s has represented a large demographic increase and has established the city as a tourist destination for its coast. In 2000, the archaeological site of Tarraco was declared Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The increase in humidity and greenery is also appreciable compared to the surrounding area, and also the acoustic properties of the Médol hole. It can be reached from the AP-7 highway (south direction) by the Médol area or from the road N-340: from the roundabout of La Mora, you must cross the highway and continue about 5 minutes walking towards Tarragona.
Arco de Berá: It was built in the late 1st century BC, more than 20 km north of Tarragona and commemorates the renovation ordered by Emperor Augustus of the road that runs along the coast from north to south and that went on to be called Via Augusta. It currently corresponds to the N-340 road and the municipality of Roda de Berá. It was decorated with Corinthian pilasters and moldings, and crowned with an architectrabe, fridge, cornice, and attic, preserved only in part. A portion of the inscription was found in the frieze and the entire one in the attic. The original ledge has been restored and recovered. Due to its location and unmistakable shape, with simple and clear geometric decorations, it is one of the best-known monuments in Catalonia.
Tamarit Castle: On the right bank of the Galá River and near the sea, the castle remembers the reconquest of Campo de Tarragona. Built in 1363, it contains defensive and residency elements, with a prison, sightseeing towers, and a Romanesque church. Since 1681 it was owned by the Archbishop of Tarragona and the Marqueses of Tarragona, until in the early 20th century it was bought by an American art collector, who had it restored. The fisherman's town was depopulated in the 19th century because of the palous fevers generated in the area's swamp. Since 1950, it has been an addendum to Tarragona.
Centcelles Mausoleum: Great villa dedicated to the expansion of agricultural and livestock richnesses from the 4th century AD, one of its rooms became a mausoleum of an unknown high dignitary person who was believed to be Constant, son of Constantine the Great, but researchers believe that it was a brother of Tarraco. The dome of the living room is decorated with unique mosaics in gender and antiquity. The Christian themes of the New and Old Angels and profane themes and hunting scenes and scenes appear.
Torre de los Escipiones: Popular name that receives the funerary monument near the Via Augusta in the 1st century AD. The attribution to the Scipiones brothers comes from the ancient interpretation of the 2 relief statues that dominate its facade and actually represent the God Attis, a funerary divinity of Eastern origin.
Roman Aqueduct: Known as Puente del Diablo, it is a sign of the long channeling that brought water into the city from the Francolí River and one of the best Hispanic examples of arcade water supply. The water was collected in the Rourell area, 92 meters above sea level and driven more than 10 km through different pipelines and aqueducts of different measures. Built in the 1st century AD, it is made up of 2 arcade floors. In the Ferreres area, it has a length of 217 meters, a maximum height of 27 meters and a width of almost 2 meters. The upper row has 25 arches and the lower 11, with about 5'90 meters of light.
Villa de los Munts: Roman villa owned by an important character linked to the province's management, a display of the private luxury of the residences of the country aristocracy. It must have been built during the 1st century and it is believed to have been occupied until the 6th or 7th. It is located in Altafulla, 10 km from Tarragona, on a small hill near the sea. At the top of the hill are the cisterns that stocked it with water, and along the slope is the residential area and two sets of hot springs along the slope. The richness of the statues, pavements, wall paintings, mosaic emblems, and marble columns that have been found leave no doubt about the importance of their owners. In summer there's a staged visit.

Where you’ll be
Tarragona, Catalunya, Spain
El Serrallo is the maritime neighborhood of Tarragona.
It originates in the late 18th-century, when the Junta d’Obres del Port projected its construction. Its narrow streets and simple buildings, most of them from the 19th century, give it the character of a typical seafaring enclave.
Next to the houses are the church of Sant Pere, from the 19th century and the work of Ramon Salas and Ricomà and the building of the Cofradía de Pesadores, built in 1925 by Antoni Pujol Sevil.
The life of many of its inhabitants is linked to the sea, and the same goes for the activity that takes place in it. At your market comes the fish that will be sold for the auction system.
The yacht supply trade and the various restaurants specializing in seafood are the economic engine of this Tarragonese enclave.
Some associations linked to the traditions of the city have their origin in the neighborhood, such as the Colla Castellera dels Xiquets del Serrallo or the co-fradía del Gremi dels Marejants.
