Tarraco, a trip to Roman times
Tarraco, today known as Tarragona, is a city full of history and cultural richness. Founded as a military camp by the Romans in the 3rd century BC, this city preserves the traces of ancient Rome and an impressive legacy.
In 2000 UNESCO declared the archaeological site of Tarraco a World Heritage Site thanks to the good state of conservation of its monuments. And it is that Tarraco offers us the unique opportunity to explore an authentic Roman urban landscape: its walls, forums, theater and amphitheater are exceptional monuments that reveal the engineering and grandeur of the Roman era and will make us travel to a past of exceptional beauty.
The walls of Tarraco
The walls of Tarraco, built by the Romans to protect the city, are impressive witnesses of the antiquity and greatness of the city. Their meticulous construction, with precisely cut and fitted stones, are an impressive example of Roman engineering.
From the walls, in addition to taking a trip back in time and discovering its history, we can enjoy panoramic views of the city and the Mediterranean Sea.

THE AQUEDUCT OF LAS FERRERES, Roman majesty
On the outskirts of Tarraco we find the Les Ferreres aqueduct, popularly known as the Devil's Bridge. This impressive work of Roman engineering built with cut stone, transported water from nearby sources to the city, providing water to the population and its monuments.
With its well-preserved arcades and imposing presence, the Les Ferreres aqueduct is a testament to the technical skill and grandeur of the Roman Empire, and has become another icon of the city.
