Tarragona and Cambrils are cities along the Mediterranean Coast, a few miles from our Villa.
Lorri and I took a day trip to check them out.

Never figured out who this dude is. Augustus?
Romulus, Remus and their mom.

Was the sea that close when it was constructed?

Looks like at some point the structure was cannibalized to build a Christian church on the site.
Still, a lot survives
The main entry?
Beautiful
Some of the previous photos were taken from up there
