Fòrum colonial de Tarraco
The Fòrum colonial de Tarraco, located in the heart of Tarragona, is a testament to the city's rich Roman past. As the main public square in the ancient city of Tarraco, the forum was the center of political and social life during the Roman Empire. Today, it stands as a significant archaeological site and part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Tarraco, which has been recognized by UNESCO as a World Heritage site. Visitors can explore the remnants of basilicas, colonnades, and public buildings that once defined the civic landscape. The forum provides a unique glimpse into the urban development of one of the most important Roman cities in the Iberian Peninsula. Its well-preserved structures and artifacts offer a window into the daily life, governance, and culture of Roman Spain, making it an invaluable resource for historians and a fascinating attraction for tourists. The site's interpretive signs and guided tours help to contextualize the ruins, allowing visitors to imagine the grandeur of Tarraco's heyday.
