The King's Castle

This ancient roman Building, located in one corner of the old provincial forum of Hispania Citerior, was fortified from the time of the medieval recuperation of Tarragona in the XII Century. From the year 1171, it became part of what was known as the Crown.

Under the reign of Jaime I, it was remodelled and embellished. It became, in consequence, the residence for the kings when they visited Tarragona.
