Passeig Arqueològic

We visited this site with our combination tickets for the Roman sites of Tarragona. The walk was pleasant but otherwise not recommended unless you have time to spare.

This is another site out of 4 in the same ticket of Roman ruins of Tarragona. Nice views over the city. You can leave the site through the gate at the end, or return and trace the wall on the other site. It's really interesting how the wall was built, and see how it was changing over the time. Definitely worth a visit.

This is a beautiful across an ancient Roman wall. Signs along the way will teach you about what you are seeing. Some parts of the walking dating back around 1800 years. Wasn’t terribly exciting but it still looked really nice

Brilliant, well respected and maintained walls. Buy the multi ticket, 7 euros at the time of visit and gets you into the four main places. Absolute bargain, for that price you will not be disappointed,the amphitheatre you can walk straight in unlike 3hr queue for colloseum in Rome.

Lovely walk, astounding views and some great history, a bargain with the multi ticket to 6 historical sites in Tarragona

Amazing view and a beautiful place. Definitely worth visiting.

A cool shady walk along the foot of the Roman city walls which are very impressive. There are numerous information points which add to the visitors understanding of the construction and phases of construction. All of the numerous sites in Tarragona seem to be equally well preserved and explained. Entry to all of these is very modest at 5 euro for an adult and there are usually toilets too!

Nice place to go take a walk. We lucked out as the entry was free that day.

This was one of my favorite sites in Tarragona. There is a small entrance fee and bathrooms available. In the 2nd century B.C. a wall was built around Tarraco. The wall originally ran around 3,500 meters and about 1,100 remain. It borders present day Tarragona's Old Quarter and is the oldest Roman construction still conserved outside of Italy. The walls were reinforced in the 16th and 18th centuries. There are shaded gardens, beautiful sculptures, cannons, and historical signage throughout the site.

The best preserved part of Roman Tarragona are the walls which still encircle the old town, and a 1.5km section has been landscaped and is open to the public as an archaeological walk. The lowest layers of the walls consist of large rough-hewn boulders, which survive from the Iberian period. These include two impressive but primitive doorways, which contrast with the more sophisticated Roman walls above, which date from the 3rd century BC and are up to 15m high. This makes them the oldest preserved Roman remains outside Italy. The walk also takes in a number of the bastions built by the British in 1707 during the Wars of the Spanish Succession, complete with cannons, as well as elements from the mediaeval period. Half way along there is a display housed in several vaults describing the history and development of the walls from Roman to modern times. The walk provides good views over the northern half of the modern city and the hills beyond. The walls form part of the Tarragona UNESCO World Heritage Site.
