Treat yourself to a fantastic day in Tarragona with both a guided tour and a virtual journey to the Roman World Heritage monuments.
Itinere, expert city guides, and TimePort Tarragona, specialists in digital reconstruction and virtual reality, have joined forces to offer two activities and a new way to explore Roman heritage.All of this is included in a combined ticket to help you make the most of your visit to Tarragona, ideal for lovers of history, culture, and new technologies. Two educational and exciting experiences that will transport you 2,000 years back in time to the heart of ancient Tarraco, one of the most fascinating cities of the Roman Empire!
Our guides will introduce you to the ancient imperial city with maps, audiovisual resources, and visits to the Roman monuments themselves, offering thorough and engaging information: the two hours will fly by!
The guided walking tour begins at the monumental Roman walls, traveling back in time to the arrival of the Romans on the Iberian Peninsula in 218 BC. We continue strolling through the streets of the Upper Town, the ancient Provincial Forum from the imperial era, to reach the medieval Cathedral, where the Temple of Augustus used to stand. The route continues to the Roman Circus, which we visit both inside and out, ending with spectacular views of the highly photogenic Amphitheater by the sea.
The experience is enhanced by the innovative virtual reconstructions provided by TimePort Tarragona and the Meta Quest 3 headset. Imagine soaring over Roman Tarragona: its bustling markets, immense entertainment venues, majestic temples, and the sound of chariots echoing through the streets. Relive the daily life of a Tarraco resident from the TimePort location on Calle Mayor, opposite the Cathedral.
A unique perspective of the city's ancient spaces, from the port to the Imperial Temple, including the baths, the Theater, and the local Forum. Immersive technology and stunning virtual reconstructions bring the past to life like never before.
