875 ES - Archaeological Ensemble of Tárraco (2000)

Brief Description

"Tárraco (modern-day Tarragona) was a major administrative and mercantile city in Roman Spain and the centre of the Imperial cult for all the Iberian provinces. It was endowed with many fine buildings, and parts of these have been revealed in a series of exceptional excavations. Although most of the remains are fragmentary, many preserved beneath more recent buildings, they present a vivid picture of the grandeur of this Roman provincial capital."

塔拉科考古遗址
"塔拉科现称塔拉戈纳，原来是罗马帝国统治时期西班牙的政治和商业中心，同时也是伊比利亚岛各省的宗教中心。城中有许多精美 的建筑，通过不断挖掘，这些古老的建筑一件件出现在了人们的面前。尽管许多建筑只剩下残破的碎片，或者被深埋在现有建筑物之下，但它们仍然向世人展示着这 一古代罗马帝国外省首府的风貌。"
