Staff very helpful. Lots of excellent free information in English and other languages. Several floors of good exhibits, some fantastic individual items and fantastic mosaics. Well worth the two hours spent there.
复活节那个周的其中一天,我们带着两个孩子一个7岁、一个11岁去这里参观。老实说,我们本来对这个地方不抱很大的希望,但是去了之后,我们在那里玩得很开心。最让人难忘的是站在塔拉克考古遗址群顶上往下看,你可以看到圆形剧场和全市镇的风景,很壮观。下面是一些给小孩玩的隧道,你可以坐那种小火车回去,那种小火车是环城的。
Great value and all within walking distance. There are probably 5 or 6 ancient roman sites in this former Roman Capital city that you can easily manage to see in a day. The Roman Theater, Roman Circus, Roman walls, forum and amphitheatre are the best things to see and easily managed by walking around the city. It really humbles you if you're from the USA as everything you see is older than our entire country. Made the statue of liberty (which we visited on the same trip to Spain) seem really anticlimactic. Way worth the $$.
Wonderful collections of Roman artifacts, sculptures, mosaics, and such. Very much worth a visit. It's educational, with good explanations of everything on exhibit. Not expensive to enter. The building is pretty too, with good views from the upper windows over the sea. Highly recommended for history and archaeology buffs.
Staff are welcoming and helpful. Lots of excellent free information in English and other languages. Several floors of good exhibits, some fantastic individual items and splendid mosaics. Well worth a couple of hours.
Try this one on for size. The beauty of Tarragona,its magnificent situation on a rocky promontory above the sea and its gentle climate makes you understand why Jupiter left Tiria,his chosen one,because he fell in love with Tarragona. I agree with Jupiter but for less empathic urges. Even to this day its possible to explore the attractive passage archeological that showcases the preserved wall that surrounds the acropolis. The resilience of the mosaic floors at the open-air digs and at the museum highlights how durable this form of craft is. The most exciting monument in Tarragona is of-course the Roman amphitheatre designed to fit into the hillside,with an arena,the cavea,the auditorium,the orchestra,stage and my favourite word,Vomitoria (exits). Outside the ancient city centre,more monuments exert a decisive influence on Tarragon,like the Calle Lleida where stumps of columns and colonnades survive in the blazing sun. it reminds me of cesaeria in Israel with the bay of blue-green water and the colour of bleached stone-works so vivid.
Great place to visit. You can access the roof and look over the town and over towards the harbour. Steep stairs but there is a lift some access for disabled is available also.
We thought this was included on our multi-site ticket, but it wasn't, although the day we visited it was free anyway. Good mosaics and some interesting artefacts
If you're into museums you'll like wandering through the rooms of the Museu Arqueologic: there's plenty of statues, mosaics, everyday utensils and sailing devices from Roman times.My only complaint about it is that it's an old-fashioned museum; it hasn't changed much since I visited it for the first time over 20 years ago and it's not one of those museums with interactive activities, so I guess children may get a bit bored after a while.
What a museum. It will give you an idea of how much Roman influence was in Tarragona. The archaeology pieces found in this museum can tell some history. So many things to see and learn here. I could not imagine how old all these pieces are. That's real archaeology!
