The city is known for its archaeological sites and its Roman heritage, as it was once the capital of the Roman province of Hispania Tarraconensis.

Tarragona has a rich history, with evidence of human settlement dating back to the Neolithic period. It was originally founded by the Iberians, who were later conquered by the Romans in 218 BC. The city flourished under Roman rule, becoming an important trading port and a major center of commerce and culture.

The city was an important center of Christianity during the Middle Ages and was the site of the Council of Tarragona in 1234. During the Spanish Civil War, the city was a stronghold of the Republican forces. After the war, the city was heavily damaged and many of its historic buildings were destroyed.

Today, Tarragona is a popular tourist destination, known for its archaeological sites, medieval churches, and Roman ruins. The city is home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites, including the Roman amphitheater and the archaeological complex of Tarraco. The city is also home to the Tarragona Cathedral, which was built in the 12th century.

Tarragona is also home to a number of festivals and events, including the Festa Major de Tarragona, which is held every year in August. The city also hosts a number of music festivals, including the Tarragona International Music Festival and the Tarragona Jazz Festival.
