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?

Hello Tine, Yes, you can purchase the warm jackets worn by FC Barcelona players after matches through various online platforms. The official FC Barcelona online store offers a selection of men's coats and jackets, including models similar to those used by the players. Additionally, retailers like Fútbol Emotion provide official FC Barcelona jackets from the 2024/2025 season. For a premium option, Herno has collaborated with FC Barcelona to create an exclusive line of jackets, shirts, and pants, available on their official website. Best,

    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.
