The Romans chose Tarragona strategic position as the site of a military
camp during their campaigns against the Carthaginian troops in 218 BC, and in
time that primitive fortress became the Capital of Hispania Citerior, one of the
biggest provinces within the Roman Empire. Nowadays the new city overlaps the
site of that ancient
 Acropolis.
We suggest you a fascinating tour to check the surprising coexistence of a
Roman past and modern life. Starting at the Archaeological walkway we'll see the
surviving chunks of the stone walls, we'll lead towards the historic core
passing the medieval hospital and stopping at the Cathedral where we'll make a
short break to enjoy the Sunday morning market of antiquities. During this break
you can instead enter the cathedral. Thereafter we'll
 meet
again further down to discover the rests of the Provincial Forum and the nearby
Circus hidden amidst the urban design. We'll walk along the underground
passageways which held the Circus' stands and finally, the tour will end at one
of the most crowded squares within the old town: Plaça de la Font, situated
inside the Roman Circus..

We had a fabulous time on the Camino de Santiago! Everything worked as
it should have and all contact we had with anyone associated with
EATours was very friendly, very helpful and totally professional. You
can be sure that we will be passing the word. A real pleasure...
