about Tarragona Roman Circus
Tarragona Roman Circus (Circo Romano de Tarragona) was probably built under the Emperor Domitian in the first century AD and is now one of the best preserved Roman sites in this Spanish city.
When Tarragona Roman Circus was constructed, the city was known as Tarraco and it would have been just one of a series of impressive monuments. It was in use until the fifth century.
Tarragona Roman Circus is part of the UNESCO World Heritage site of the Archaeological Ensemble of Tarraco.
