Tarraco by john booth

I agree that the listed sites within the city are nothing spectacular compared to Merida so I went to search out the sites on the periphery of the city.

The aqueduct, known locally as Puente del Diablo, is in a leafy park to the north of the city, reached by bus #5 from the city centre. Whilst it is in a good state of repair it nowhere near as spectacular as the one in Segovia.

Centcelles villa is at the village of Constanta, reached by the Plana bus. The main feature is the mosaic design on the domed ceiling of the basilica.

Els Munts, located a short walk from Altafulla station, is a rather disappointing excavated village.

The Arch of Bera, accessed by a Penedes bus from Torredembarra station, is a rather forlorn and incomplete monument.
