Tortosa, Municipality and administrative center in Baix Ebre, Spain
The city extends along both banks of the Ebro River, enclosed by the Els Ports massif and Cardó mountain range at 12 meters elevation.
Established as Dertosa by the Iberians, the settlement gained colonial status under Emperor Augustus as Colonia Julia Augusta Dertosa in Roman times.
The Renaissance Festival transforms the entire city into a 16th-century settlement with period costumes, markets, and historical reenactments throughout the streets.
The municipality contains several decentralized areas including Bítem, Campredó, and Jesús, with administrative offices centralized in the main district.
The local economy centers on olive oil production, with additional manufacturing of fertilizers, cement, pharmaceuticals, and textile products.
