RE: [ENG] Tarragona, a Roman city in Catalonia [ESP] Tarragona, una ciudad romana en Cataluña

in Architecture+Design3 years ago

I'm constantly in awe of archaeological sites around the world most especially when they entail architectural ruins of massive significance. They offer you interesting glimpses into ancient construction methods, cultural practices, and design conventions. Tarragona, a Roman city in Catalonia, Spain seems like a place that could quench my thirst for real exploration and adventure.

Dear friend Benjamin, which particular historic building there caught your curiosity the most and why?

Hello dear and appreciated friend Erne. Thank you for your wise comment. When I was doing my doctoral studies in Barcelona, ​​quite some time ago, I was lucky enough to meet Tarragona and I was simply stunned. The construction that caught my attention the most was the Roman Circus, especially because it was used to present plays, gladiator fights, chariot races, among other shows, and that is where the pejorative expression "To the People Pan and Circus" came from. ". Which doesn't mean that I didn't love many of its constructions, much later than the Roman origins of the city, such as the Cathedral and Las Ramblas. Receive a big brotherly hug

Awesome choice! Thank you for sharing your remarkable thoughts. Best wishes always. 😊
