Things to Do in Tortosa
Explore the stunning centre of Tortosa with this private tour of the picturesque area. An exclusive tour for you, your partner, family or friends!
Tortosa is a city that has witnessed so many historical events... Rome and Carthage clashed here, Tortosa was a prosperous city of 10,000 inhabitants in the 3rd century, when municipalities of 5,000 were the norm, it was taken by the Visigoths, capital of a taifa, conquered by the Christians in 1148, immortalized by Van Der Wyngaerde, visited by Philip II... and so I could go on until now, just a second ago. Summarizing all this history would be impossible, but this entire extensive life experience can be glimpsed from where you can see the entire city, from the triple castle of La Zuda...
Where it all begins, in the ancient Latin Capitolium... And where does it end? The journey is so vast... Ancient, medieval, modern, and contemporary times... But let's set a limit to what we can go beyond: for a good start, it would be a pleasure to stroll along the Paseo de las Tres Culturas, through the ancient, glorious Porcar spa, now a sculpture circuit dedicated to the whole of life. Let's continue on to the Cathedral and Machín's angel, let's travel to Rome, let's enter the pen of Anton Van Der Wyngaerde through Cota 0... And if there's still time, let's see the walls fall and sail to the City of Tortosa from 1910 to 1928.
Do you dare to embark on this adventure? Do you want to hear the oars of the galleys, hear Cristóbal Despuig describe the grandeur of a 16th-century city, experience life in Anton's pen, see the French in front of its walls in 1811? May the angel guide us, pax romana...
