Tarragona: Living History - Paperback

by Ricard Pla Boada (Author), Jordi Puig Castellano (Author), Pere Vivas Ortiz (Author)

Tarragona, the ancient Tarraco, was the first Roman city outside Italy and the residence of Emperor Augustus, who made the city the capital of Hispania.

Later on, Emperor Hadrian dedicated these words to the city: "Tarraco, the city where spring is eternal". We can see the traces of the classic civilization in its walls, towers, forum, circus and amphitheatre, all of which have been declared as World Heritage by UNESCO, Today, however, Tarragona is about its human heritage: its culture, festivities, gastronomy...which is equally worthy of recognition as are its stones.
