Province of Tarragona, Province in southern Catalonia, Spain

The province of Tarragona extends across 6,500 square kilometers between the Mediterranean Sea and inland mountains, encompassing 183 municipalities and coastal plains.

The region transitioned from Muslim control to Christian governance in 1118, leading to the formation of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Tarragona.

The province maintains strong linguistic diversity with Spanish and Catalan languages, reflected in local festivals, traditional dances, and regional celebrations throughout the year.

Major transportation links include Reus Airport and rail connections to Barcelona and Valencia, serving both local communities and seasonal tourism needs.

The Ebro River valley shapes the provincial landscape, supporting agricultural production of cereals, grapes, and olives while featuring mineral deposits of copper and marble.
