The Port Authority of Tarragona in 2000, began a new cultural activity: The port museum. Refuge warehouse built in the first third of the twentieth century is the ideal building in which to exhibit the Port’s heritage. Most pieces exhibited are large, the space available in this former freight goods warehouse allows the Museum to show the objects in a coherent way. Costa dock, as a space used by citizens and for cultural expression, has helped to recover and safeguard the maritime and port heritage of our coast. Present is a historical journey exploring the port, from the times of arrival of the Romans through to present day. The life on the docks, the types of fishery practised, sports activities, the coming and going of boats, and the freight traffic associated with the Tarragona coast, are all represented.

The Early Christian Necropolis of Tarragona is one of the best-known and best preserved late Roman (3rd-5th centuries AD) cemeteries in the Roman Empire. A visit to it immerses you in the evocative world of the dead –as well as of life– some 1,500 years ago in Tarraco. Thanks to archaeology, we can get to know the people who lived in ancient Tarraco. What were their names? What work did they do? How long did they live? What were their beliefs? In short, we have an open door to understanding what life was like in Roman times.
