Roman Wall of Tarragona

About 1000 meters, of the original 4kms, are still standing. This is the wall built in 300BC by the Romans in the city of Tarragona. Between 217 and 197 BC, the oldest building of the Roman Tarraco was contstructed. Around the years 150-125 BC, the wall changed substantially, growing in size, height and thickness, and going on to encompass the entire city to the port . Their megalithic stones are lit with the light of sunset, we crossed to reach the old town, a lovely walk which you should hesitate to do.

A good way to visit all of Tarragona’s Roman ruins is to go for a walk along the ruins of the ancient city wall. You can only explore at the base of the walls not from the top, so unfortunately you don’t get to see the panorama of the city. You will see a ton of history, though!
