Tarragona's Roman Circus

We have a Roman circus in my town. It is the only one in Britain. I am travelling to Tarragona next year and am definitely going to see your circus. Can we arrange to be twin circus towns and to share information?

  2. Romen Circus - Jduith Zayas-Bazan (27 Jul 2006 - 16:20)

    I lived in Torredembarra, Tarragona for 10 years (now I live in the U.S.A) and I remember the circus, I love Roman architecture (not much here in the U.S).
    I hope to soon go back. But we need pictures that would be great.
    Thank you.
