Roman Circus of Tarragona

The Roman circus was the site of horse-drawn chriot races, usually between two-horse chariots, known as bigae, or fourhorse chariots, known as quadrigae.

 

Tarragona’s circus is one of the best conserved in all the Western world, despite that fact that much of the structure remains hidden under a series of 19th century buildings.

 

Currently, the eastern side an be visited, including the decorative façade and stands, as well as the San Hermenegildo and Carrer Enrajolat vaults. Another section has been uncovered in Plaça Sedassos, and several vaults can also still be seen along Carrer Trinquet Vell and in Plaça de la Font.

In the 1st century A.D., two long aqueducts were built to supply the city with water.
Cathedral of Tarragona
The Cathedral, perched on the highest point of the hill, is the city’s most emblematic building and home to Tarragona’s rihest Collection of mediaeval art.
Convent of the Teresian Order (collegiate of St. Theresa of Jesus)
The façade of this building is very evidently eye-catching. The dimensions of the building underline its importance and the high regard that the Teresian nuns enjoyed in the city at the start of the century.
