Tarragona National Archaeological Museum

Its halls feature displays containing various remains of sculptures, mosaics, architecture, ceramics, domestic and military utensils, amphorae, clothing, funerary objects, coins... Many of these items can be traced to important monumental buildings in the city such as the theatre, the circus, the amphitheatre or the forum.Head office temporarily closed for renovations.
