Things to do From Empire to Ruins: Free Roman Tour in Tarragona

Join us on a fascinating journey through the ancient Roman city of Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the most important Roman settlements in Hispania. This free walking tour will guide you through the spectacular ruins that once formed the backbone of Roman life on the Mediterranean coast. We begin at the iconic Amphitheatre, where gladiators once battled by the sea. From there, we ascend into the historic Old Town, where the Temple of Augustus once stood, now hidden within the city’s medieval layers. As we explore the narrow streets, we’ll discover the Roman walls that protected the city and step into the majestic remains of the Circus, one of the best-preserved in Europe, used for thrilling chariot races. Our journey continues through the Provincial Forum square, the grand administrative heart of Roman Tarraco. Exiting the walls, we stroll down the Rambla Nova, soaking in the modern life of Tarragona while tracing the footsteps of the past. This tour is the perfect blend of history, architecture, and storytelling.
