Sobre
Fatos rápidos: Mais de 2.000 artefatos romanos preenchem este museu, de mosaicos intricados a estátuas de mármore retiradas da antiga cidade de Tarraco. Sua seção subterrânea se conecta diretamente às ruínas do circo romano, permitindo que você caminhe por onde as carruagens uma vez correram.
Destaques: As crianças ficam genuinamente assustadas com a exibição de armaduras de gladiador em tamanho real, completa com capacetes amassados e réplicas de armas que mostram desgaste real de batalha. A peça de destaque é um requintado mosaico de golfinhos com peças tão pequenas que parecem pintadas, recuperado de uma vila romana a poucos metros do Mediterrâneo.
Dicas de quem conhece
- Skip the audioguide and download the free Tarragona History app instead, it has better commentary on the gladiator exhibits.
- Bring a small flashlight to examine the mosaic tile details up close, some corridors are dimly lit.
- The rooftop terrace has an excellent view of the Roman circus outline, few visitors know it's open to the public.
- Wear shoes you can easily slip off, the underground section has sand-floor pathways that get dusty.
