Tortosa preserves important examples of medieval, Renaissance, Baroque and Modernist architecture.

Spanish Mediterranean Coast Tour ~ Tarragona (Region) The city is located near the mouth of the Ebro River, and the first thing that catches one's attention is the Arab castle of Rasuda, which sits on a hill. Visitors can stay there if they wish, as it has been converted into the Parador de Turismo hotel. Along the river is the old part of town, with its 14th-century Gothic cathedral with a Baroque facade, three naves and a cloister, which features richly colored 14th-century frescoes on the high walls, a 15th-century redecoration of the Transfiguration, and the 18th-century Church of La Cinta, built of Italian marble and Tortosa jasper. Visitors can also admire the 14th-century Episcopal Palace, with its courtyards, galleries and remarkable staircase, which houses a chapel from 1316 with a polychrome stone door and 14th-century sculptures. Also of interest are the Gothic cloisters of the Santa Clara Monastery (14th century); the Royal Academy of Tortosa, founded by Carlos V in 1564 for the education of Muslim subjects; the modernist market with its metal structures; the exchange (from the 14th century), where the price of wheat for the entire western Mediterranean basin was determined; in addition, you can visit the Remolins neighborhood, where you will find the old Jewish quarter, the calle de Els Gentilhomes and the palace of the Puig family. #FebruaryDestinations2025 #SpainTravel #Catalonia
