Moreover, being located in the heart of Tarragona, our four apartment buildings give you easy walking access to all points of interest, restaurants, and essential services. 1️⃣ Roman Amphitheater of Tarragona First of all, just a few minutes’ walk from our apartment building, Tgna Rambla 68, is the Roman Amphitheater of Tarraco. Built in the 2nd century AD, this impressive structure hosted public spectacles such as gladiator fights. ⚠️ We recommend that you purchase your ticket, go down to the arena, and feel like a gladiator for a moment. Taking a photo from the outside is easy and beautiful, but if you descend to the arena, touch it with your hands, and imagine what it was like to experience a grand spectacle in Roman times, you’ll create a unique and lasting memory. 2️⃣ The Roman Circus of Tarraco The Roman Circus, located near the amphitheater, is a monument you cannot miss. It is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and was the place where chariot races with two-horse and four-horse teams took place. If you climb to the Torre del Pretori at sunset, which is part of the visiting circuit for the Roman Circus, you’ll be able to see the sun setting, casting a spectacular ochre color on the facade of the Cathedral of Tarragona. You’ll also enjoy magnificent views of the Roman amphitheater and experience the Mediterranean beauty of the city in 360º. 3️⃣ Colony Forum The Colony Forum, located in the historic center and close to our buildings Tgna Cervantes 8 and Tgna Reding 22, was the political and economic heart of the city. The remains are a fascinating testament to the daily, social, and legal life of Roman citizens. The Forum of the Colony should not be confused with the Forum of the Province. The former is located next to the Central Market of Tarragona, while the latter is in the historic center of the city. This photo corresponds to the current square of the Forum, which is the ancient Forum of the Province. 4️⃣ Roman Theater Just a few steps from the forum, in the direction of the apartment building Tgna Reial 1, you will find the Roman Theater, built at the end of the 1st century BC. This spectacular monument was the stage for various performances, including dramas and comedies. The theater has been restored and hosts performances and cultural events, connecting the past with the present.

Visitors can walk along the Archaeological Promenade, enjoying spectacular views and learning about the city’s military history. In the last 200 years, the city has seen the emergence of Rambla Nova and Rambla Vella as major urban arteries, which inevitably led to the destruction of some parts of the original 3.5-kilometer wall. Despite this, we can still enjoy over a kilometer of very well-preserved walls today. Many cities have destroyed their historical past, but Tarragona has successfully managed to preserve part of its heritage. ️Lastly, it should be noted that Field of Mars is located right next to the Archaeological Promenade and is one of the usual landmarks for tourists exploring Tarragona’s city center.
