Tarragona is now a modern commercial city, the capital of the province of Tarragona. The Roman history of Tarragona can be seen throughout the city. The ancient Roman amphitheatre looks out over the Mediterranean, a reminder of Rome's conquest of the
Iberian peninsula. There are many other historical remains in the city including the 12th century church of Santa Maria del Miracle housed inside the walls of Antificatro Romano.

The museum (museo de la Romanitat) is well worth a visit to view some of the Roman and medieval artefacts which have been found in the area. With its huge petrochemical industry, it is sometimes difficult to believe that you are wandering around what was the first Roman city in
Spain.
