Om
Snabba fakta: Two completely different architectural styles meet under one roof. The Gothic nave rises above a 12th-century Romanesque cloister where cats have been living for centuries.
Höjdpunkter: One stone inside the cloister wall shows a cat's paw print pressed into the mortar from over 800 years ago. Locals say the cathedral's resident cats are direct descendants of the mousers that kept the medieval monastery rodent-free.
Insidertips
- Head straight to the cloister first thing, before the guided tours fill the space with chatter.
- Look for the cat paw print embedded in the mortar of the cloister's northeast wall, near the chapter house entrance.
- The museum inside holds a stunning 15th-century altarpiece, but skip the audioguide and just read the wall panels instead.
- Wear comfortable shoes; the climb to the upper terraces rewards you with rooftop views over Tarragona's old town.

Har du hört talas om gratis guidade vandringar?
Efter att ha rest till över 30 länder finns det en sak jag önskar att någon hade berättat för mig från början, och det förändrade helt hur jag upplever nya städer.
Gratis guidade vandringar. Ja, faktiskt gratis. Ingen kreditkort krävs. Inga fångster.
Lokal guide, 2-3 timmar
Stora sevärdheter, dolda pärlor, lokala historier
100% dricksbaserat
Guider tjänar endast dricks, så de ger sitt absolut bästa
Du ger dricks efter eget tycke
I slutet ger du bara dricks efter eget tycke
Jag har gjort dessa i dussintals städer och de har varit höjdpunkten på nästan varje resa. Om du besöker Tarragona, Spain, gör detta din första dag. Du kommer att tacka mig senare.
