In order that you may know more about Tarragona, we have prepared a small photo shoot about this beautiful city.

Tarragona has been, is and will be a city profoundly marked by the Roman Civilization. Gnaeus Scipio created it in 218 B.C. And called it Tarraco. It was the first Roman military settlement outside the Italian peninsula and became the capital of all of Hispania Citerior, or Tarraconensis. The glory of those days can be seen today, thanks to the huge heritage that is preserved and makes. Thousands of visitors each year admire the amphitheatre, the forum and the city walls, some of the most recognizable symbols of Tarragona.
