On this self-guided audio tour, hear how a small settlement became a key colony and top holiday spot for Romans. Experience the magic of GPS playback on this immersive stroll through Tarragona.

Travel back 2,200 years in history to when Tarragona was Tarraco, one of Rome’s most important colonies and an ancient holiday destination – much like it is today. Over the years, the Romans, Moors, and Medieval Christians influenced the city. On this walking tour, I’ll point out where they left their mark in Tarragona’s Old Town. I’ll show you some of the numerous UNESCO World Heritage sites they left behind and talk about some of the events that shaped them.

But this tour isn't all about Rome. Most of what you’ll see on your way to Mercat de Tarragona was built in Medieval times. You’ll be amazed at how parts of the town still look and feel like a village from the Middle Ages.

By the end of the tour, you’ll have fallen in love with Tarragona.
