Fòrum Provincial

The administrative centre of Hispania Citerior occupied the upper terraces of the city, with the Pretori tower housing the stairs that carried traffic from the lower town up to the forum through the circus, linked by underground passages that are still walkable. The vaulted Volta del Pallol is part of the same complex. Both are run by the municipal history museum and were inscribed with the Tarraco ensemble in 2000.
