During the four centuries of Roman colonisation, Tarraconensis was to become one of the major cities of the Roman Empire. This can be seen by the vestiges throughout the city which paint an excellent picture of the lives of its 30 000 former inhabitants.You will see the forum, the magnificent amphitheatre (2C BC) overlooking the sea, the Roman circus (1C BC) and the ramparts 3C BC. You will not regret a visit to the Praetorium and its underground galleries or a glimpse at the wonderful mosaics in the Archaeological Museum.
