Amfiteatre de Tarragona

Reviewed By Vic_VDB - Tamworth, United Kingdom

The sun shone, the sea sparkled and the place stunned with its size, history and amazingly well preserved site. It’s one of the most stunning things I’ve seen and the churches that followed on this Roman site only added to the whole experience. You can buy a multi-site ticket for this and many other Roman sites for what I think is a paltry sum for and immense experience. Well worth a visit

Circ Roma

Reviewed By pnetster

This place costs 3.30 per adult and it is money well spent, information in English french and Spanish really gives you a great insight. Steps up to the roof give a great view and the recreation of roman chariot racing was fab. The site is much larger than the building you enter so get ready to walk!

Murallas de Tarragona

Reviewed By Timothy5 - Hull, United States

It is great to visit a place like this off season as you can take your time reading the signs and enjoy looking out at the views. This place is a wonderful experience. There are a lot more Roman ruins than we expected. We went here at night and then came back during the day. It was on the pass we bought for various historic sites in Tarragona.

Beautiful, middle-age monastery (not inhabited any more) and church set in the countryside outside Horta de Sant Joan, at a lovely spot the foot of the mountains. Really worth a visit.
