Province: Tarragona
Tarragona is a province of eastern Spain, in the southern part of the autonomous community of Catalonia. It is bordered by the provinces of Castelló (Spanish: Castellón), Teruel, Zaragoza, Lleida (Spanish: Lérida), Barcelona, and the Mediterranean Sea. The climate is meditterean with mild winters and hot and dry summers.
The capital is Tarragona, where there are still many important ancient remains, part of the bases of large Cyclopean walls near the Quartel de Pilatos are thought to be anterior to the Romans. The amphitheatre near the sea-shore has been used as a quarry, but only a few vestiges of it now remain. A circus, 1500 feet long, is now built over it, though portions of it are still to be traced.
A magnificent aqueduct, which spans a valley about a mile from the gates. It is 700 feet in length, and the loftiest arches, of which there are two tiers, are 96 feet high. The monument on the northwest of the city, and also about a mile distant, is a Roman sepulchre, commonly called the "Tower of the Scipios".
Tarragona is home to a large port and the University Rovira and Virgili. Much of its economic activity comes from a large amount of chemical industries located in the city or in surrounding areas.
Tarragona tourist attractions include the Museum of Archaeology and the Roman ruins of Tarraco, which has been designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Tarragona is located near the holiday resort of Salou and the Universal Studios theme park Port Aventura, one of the largest in Europe. Tarragona has a wall surrounding the old city. There are two gates through the wall of Tarragona: the Portal del Roser and the Portal de Sant Antoni.
