An ancient column is seen on display along the Roman wall. Tarraco (now Tarragona) has the oldest Roman architectural construction (2nd century BC) outside of Italy. The wall, 6 meters high and meters thick, measured approximately 3,500 meters at the time. Nowadays only 1,100 m of wall and an original gate remain and surround the old part of the two years of the covid-19 pandemic during which tourism revenues dropped, the city of Tarragona has announced a doubling of its cruise ship capacity in 2021. The city benefits from the UNESCO heritage listing of its important Roman archaeological site and its bathing facilities on the Costa Dorada. In order to make the vestiges known, in May the festival "Tarraco Viva" takes place, which presents the life in the time of the Ancient Rome.
