Tarragona is part of that privileged group of cities that has converted its historical heritage into a symbol of identity. The inclusion of the city's Roman monuments in UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites is therefore an important legacy for which we have to thank our ancestors. Roman Tarraco was a multi-cultural city, open to the Mediterranean and the Roman world, to which, even in those times, it exported its image. Anneu Florus, one of the best-known Latin poets, described it in the following words: " of all the cities one can choose to rest in, this is the most agreeable the people are honest, frugal, and although they have a certain reserve towards the stranger, they are naturally hospitable. The climate merges and confuses the seasons in a unique manner and the whole year seems an eternal spring. The land, fertile on the plains and hills, does not lament a tardy autumn". Analysing these words, we can see how modern Tarragona is not so very different from the place described by that eloquent poet.
