Hiking

In the 2nd century B.C., a great wall was built around Tarraco, delimiting the municipal boundaries. The wall originally ran some 3,500 metres. Today, approximately 1,100 metres remain, bordering present-day Tarragona's Old Quarter. The walls are the oldest Roman construction still conserved outside Italy.

The city was founded by the Romans in 218 BC as Tarraco. During the Roman Empire, it was one of the most important centres of the Iberian Peninsula and the capital of one of the largest Roman provinces, Hispania Tarraconensis, which was named after it. Some Roman ruins can still be seen.
