Spreading ancient history in an attractive way that provokes reflection about our past. That was the aim when Tarraco Viva was set up in 1999. “History for everyone” could be the motto for this international festival dedicated to spreading the history of Roman times. Tarraco Viva has become a benchmark event thanks to both the proposals that it makes and the quality that it offers. Military life and daily life; the legions, the theatre, the gladiators, the homes, the cuisine, the writings, the engineering, the fashion... all recreated with a common denominator: exactness. Getting to know the past is not something that is confined, rather it is the best way to understand the present and, therefore, to be able to choose the future. You will probably discover that you are more Roman than you thought. Welcome to Tarraco!

During the days of Tàrraco Viva, Tarragona’s Roman festival, the kitchens in most of the city’s restaurants are transformed to relive the flavours and aromas of Roman culture.
