From Tuesday, October 6 to Sunday, October 11, 2026, the Festes del Roser celebrate their 101st anniversary (1925-2026), a milestone that demonstrates the matchless strength of tradition and community spirit in our city.
At TGNA Tarragona Apartaments, we are deeply committed to Tarragona and actively collaborate throughout the year with leading local organisations such as the Associació de Veïns del Carrer Merceria i Voltants, the Amics de la Part Alta, and the Geganters del Passeig Torroja.
A commitment reflected in our sponsorship and support for flagship initiatives such as Carnival events, the Sant Magí giant gathering, the Concurs de Castells (Human Towers Competition), and our ongoing participation in the Festes del Roser.
This year, we have collaborated in designing 4 new banners that join the 10 commemorative banners displayed from Carrer Merceria to Plaça del Fòrum.
These newly created banners pay tribute to the most cherished symbols of Catalan popular culture, from the iconic giants and big-heads, to the Catalan pubilla and the Ball de Bastons (Stick Dance), concluding with the Colla Xiquets de Tarragona human towers group.
The Part Alta (Old Town) is also our home. We continue working enthusiastically on our new apartment building project, TGNA Merceria 2, which, although it requires time to respect the historical environment, archaeology, and construction process, we hope to see completed around 2028. In the meantime, we will keep standing shoulder to shoulder with the neighbourhood to keep our traditions alive.
