Catalunya and Barcelona have a large collection of Roman ruins. They are everywhere if you know where to look. The centre of Barcelona is one large roman walled city.
On this page I list the most prominent roman ruins and museums dedicated to the preservation and study of roman ruins. I also listed the extensive Roman ruins in Tarragona as well as some others outside of the cities.
Click on a photo to find out the details about each ruin site and how to best enjoy it.
Happy Exploring!
