41.1189°N, 1.2445°E
Ancient Roman Tarraco, capital of Hispania Citerior founded in 218 BC, Tarragona preserves one of the richest Roman archaeological ensembles in the Mediterranean, inscribed on the World Heritage List. Under the Catalan sky opening onto the Costa Daurada, gift a Tarragonian star map — a present as monumental as two thousand years of history and as golden as Mediterranean sunsets.
Famous Landmarks
Roman Amphitheatre (UNESCO)
41.1189°N, 1.2445°E
Tarragona's Roman amphitheatre, built in the 2nd century AD on slopes facing the Mediterranean, could hold 14,000 spectators. Inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000 as part of the Tarraco archaeological ensemble, it was the scene of Bishop Fructuosus's martyrdom in 259, one of the oldest testimonies of Christianity in Hispania.
Aqueduct of Tarragona
41.1189°N, 1.2445°E
The Aqueduct of Tarragona, nicknamed Devil's Bridge, is a 1st-century Roman work that carried water from the Francolí river to Tarraco over 25 kilometres. 217 metres long and 27 metres high, its two tiers of arches form one of Spain's best-preserved Roman aqueducts. It was inscribed by UNESCO in 2000.
Costa Daurada
41.1189°N, 1.2445°E
The Costa Daurada (Catalan for Golden Coast), stretching around Tarragona, owes its name to the golden hue of its fine sand. Its beaches, such as Arrabassada or Savinosa, extend the Roman remains over 92 kilometres of Mediterranean coastline, offering a unique setting where antiquity and the sea embrace.
Why gift a star map of Tarragona?
Gifting a star map of Tarragona means immortalising a night under the sky where the Romans once read the firmament from the amphitheatre facing the Mediterranean. From the Devil's Aqueduct to the Balcón del Mediterráneo, every star above Tarragona tells two thousand years of gazes lifted to the same sky — a present as enduring as the stone of Tarraco.
The sky of Tarragona
At 41.12° north latitude on the Catalan Mediterranean coast, Tarragona benefits from marine horizons open to the east and over 280 sunny days a year. The Montsant massif, about an hour away, offers Bortle 2-3 skies and a Natural Park suited to observation. The Priorat hinterland vineyards preserve low light pollution.
