Roman Amphitheatre
Tarragona's best-known symbol: a 2nd-century amphitheatre right by the sea, where gladiators once fought.
The most recognisable symbol of Tarragona. The amphitheatre was built in the 2nd century right by the sea and held around 15,000 spectators. Gladiator fights and public spectacles took place here. Today it’s one of the most beautiful archaeological sites in Spain, thanks to the combination of ancient ruins and a view of the Mediterranean.
