The site of gladiator battles, wild animal hunts, and executions, Anfiteatro de Tarragona gives you a feel for the history of the Roman empire in Catalonia as of the second century CE.

    Very interesting, can be partially committed. Best one takes the high road above the sight, so it has a good overview of the entire system. Also, there are the best shots from there. There is a sidewalk.

    One of the best preserved amphitheatres (partly renovated) of Spain. The sea view will give a very special Mediterranean touch. Compulsory visit if you go through Tarraco.

    A very historical and beautiful place, with a great view and a lot of history to dive into, both with your mobile and your eyes. The place will receive 4 out of 5 stars, one star missing because of the state of the place, not as well kept as other places with similar feels to it.
  • By Hagen Wenk On September 30, 2017
    Nothing good. The best is a friendly concierge. We got stolen. The breakfast is more then pore. No eggs, old bread and only 2 kinds of ham. Service on the bar is slowly, I waited 8 minutes that I can order a beer. In the bathroom the tab is not working. The shower have no power. Pore. This Hotel earned maybe 1 star for a nice clean room and a friendly concierge. I don't recommend this Hotel.

    An interesting reconstruction of the original amphitheatre. Sadly most if the original construction has been lost over time and one section even has a medieval church built over it. Still worth a visit though to those interested in such things.
  • By Ashleigh Dawson On October 13, 2017
    It's alright, beautiful views out to sea and some food information but it's been rebuilt so is not the original thing
  • By Paulette Paglia On June 26, 2017
    Completely worth the extremely reasonable entry fee. On certain week day it's free. One should donate if possible. This is a beautiful place rich with ancient history and magnificent views. We love Tarragona and her people!
