Tarragona cruise port guide
Tarragona, port city of Spain, is located less than 100 km from Barcelona from the top of its walls, here you can admire one of the most important Gothic cathedrals in Catalonia and the immense amphitheatre, stage for gladiatorial combat in Roman times. During your Mediterranean cruise, you will visit the Port of Tarragona; a true gem, with Roman ruins that are the pride of its residents and historical traditions that are part of the local folklore. The Roman heritage is still part of the urban context in Tarragona. Here, you can watch the reenactments of the centurion parades and gladiatorial combat. During the stop in the port of Tarragona, proceed to the Praetorian Tower. On the first floor there is a model of the medieval town and its glory that was lost during a war that is still commemorated with solemn candles on the steps of the cathedral. If you have the time, watch the races of human pyramids that are organised in various districts of the city.
About Tarragona
Tarragona is a port city in Catalonia, Spain, built on the ancient Roman capital of Hispania Citerior, Tarraco. Its remarkably preserved Roman monuments — amphitheatre, circus, walls, and necropolis — are collectively a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Port of Tarragona is one of Spain's major ports, ranked first nationally for agricultural products and prominent in petrochemicals.
The Roman Amphitheatre on the sea cliffs is the most dramatic monument. The Praetorium Tower and Roman Circus connect through the lower city. The 3rd–2nd-century BC walls, among the oldest Roman walls in Spain, are walkable above the city. Tarragona Cathedral's Romanesque-Gothic cloister is one of Catalonia's finest. The city's medieval quarter (Part Alta) offers cafes and tapas bars among Roman ruins.
