Tarragona information
History and Monuments
Legend has it that Jupiter, the God, left his wife, the mortal
Tiria, when he fell in love with Tarragona, a city which captivated
him. History tells that in 218 B.C. the Romans strategically settled
in this place and that it became the capital of Hispania Citerior
as time went on. From that magnificence there still survives a
very rich monumental heritage that allows us to admire some remains
from the Roman Empire such as "La Muralla", which surrounds
the old part of the city, "El Forum", "L'Amfiteatre",
"L'Aqüeducte", "La Torre dels Escipions"
and "L'Arc de Berà".
