Empúries is one of the finest historic settings in Catalonia.Two cities, one Greek and one Roman, set by the sea at L’Escala on the south of the Bay of Roses, named by Unesco as one of the most beautiful in the world.

What a beautiful and fascinating location - right on the sea! There are 2 cities - the Greek city closest to the water and the Roman city above it. The mosaics in the Roman city are amazing, and the museum has some very well-preserved mosaics and sculptures. The audio guide, which is included in the admission price, is available in many languages and really helps you picture life in Empuries.
3. Museu d'Arqueologia de Catalunya - Ullastret
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 140 reviews
Located on a small hill, the Iberian city of Ullastret overlooks the gentle and peaceful countryside of the Empordà. Between VIth and IInd centuries BC it was one of the largest concentrations of population in the pre-Roman Iberian Peninsula, and the capital town of the indiketes. Strolling among its streets, houses and stately buildings, exploring its magnificent city walls and visiting the museum, will take you back more than 2.500 years ago, at the heart of the Iberian culture.

The Iberian settlement at Ullastret is well conserved and takes you back in time. The small museum has a good collection of artefacts from the time of settlement (7 to 4th Century BC) and there is also a 3-D audiovisual experience which we really enjoyed. We visited with children (9, 11, 13) and we all made good use of the audio guides (there is a soundtrack for children and another for adults). Interesting to learn of the connections between this site and the Greek settlement of Empures to the north.
4. Ciutadella de Roses

We did this on the morning of our free day in Roses. It was two hours very well spent and gave us an appetite for lunch. You cannot physically miss the citadel as its has an almost complete surrounding wall and is on the main road into the modern town. Entrance is a very reasonable 4 Euros with reduction for seniors. First you get a small well set out museum detailing the various phases of occupation and then you go out into the old settlement. The laminated guide sheet, which is available in several languages, is clear and informative and you can easily self guide to get insights into how the first town developed. Interesting and instructive.

Siurana is 1 hour drive from Tarragona in the vineyards of Priorat. Has a Castle, Roman church, lovely Stone houses and fantastic views of the surronding rocky área and reservoir. Between Spring and October thousands if rock climbers flock to the area to enjoy the 160 dedicated routes. Make sure if you wish to eat on your visit to Siurana you book before you go, but there are plenty sitting places to enjoy a picnic too.
