Provincial forum of Tarraco, Archaeological site and museum in Tarragona, Spain.

The Provincial Forum of Tarraco spans 18 hectares and features Roman architectural elements including columns, temples, and extensive public gathering spaces.

Emperor Vespasian commissioned the construction of this administrative center in 73 AD, which remained active until the fifth century.

The forum served as both a political and religious nucleus, housing the Provincial Council, State Treasury, and Temple of Imperial Worship.

Visitors can access the archaeological remains through guided tours that explain the spatial organization of this Roman settlement.

The representation square within the forum complex was the largest ever built by the Roman Empire, measuring 175 meters in width and 318 meters in length.
