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. ITINERE suggests 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.
