"A tour of the [old
Roman] wall will
take one close to the Cathedral of Tarragona. I was amazed at the huge
size of this church. It struck me as being one that should even be
admired
as the main cathedral in a city of a million people."

The Cathedral of
Tarragona is located
in (square) Pl. de la Seu right in front of the Gothic porchs and next
to the University of Tarragona.
Its most important
offer here is
one of the most important collection of tapestries (most important in
Europe)
also has gothic paintings. But there is more, also has a fantastic
collection
of barroque scultures and renaissance paintings.
One can not leave
this museum with
out visiting the cloister with its impressive entrance and an
spectacular
arab arch, a unique piece in the whole Catalonia. This building is a
mixt
of romantic and barroque, it is a place one must take some time to
visit.
