Archaeological Ensemble of Tárraco
Tarraco (modern Tarragona) was the main administrative and commercial city in Roman Spain and the imperial cult centre for all the Iberian provinces. It is home to many fine buildings, parts of which have been uncovered in a series of exceptional excavations. Although most of the remains are fragmentary and many have been preserved under newer buildings, they provide a vivid picture of the grandeur of this Roman provincial capital.
Fuerte de Samaipata
The archaeological site of Samaipata consists of two parts: the hill with many carvings, believed to be the ceremonial center of the old town (14th-16th centuries), and the area to the south of the hill, which was the administrative and residential area. The huge carved rock overlooking the town below is a unique testimony to pre-Hispanic traditions and beliefs, unparalleled anywhere in the Americas.
