Roman Anphitheater, built in the 2nd century overlooking the sea, its stands were carried directly out of the underlying bedrock. It can hold up to 14.000 spectators and in its days , it was the scene of flights between gladiators as well as public executions.
Pretorium and Circus, Tarragona´s circus (1st century) was once used to hold horses and chariot races. It´s original capacity has been estimated at 30.000 spectators. Some of the original structure remains hidden under old 19th century buildings.
The Pretorium is a Roman-era tower that once housed the stairs that connected the lower city to the Forum by way of the circus, to which is connected by means of underground passageways.
The Serrallo quarter is the fishing neighbourhood where all the fish that arrives to the port is actioned every afternoon.
