The Romans founded Tarraco (Latin name for Tarragona) on a hill near the Mediterranean sea, in 218 bC: the Imperial city (with 30.000 people living in, and having a circus, a theatre and an amphitheatre) became the chief town of Hispania Citerior, later called Tarraconensis province. After the domination of Visigoths (5<sup>th</sup> century) and Muslims (8<sup>th</sup> century), the city was conquered by Borrell II, count of Barcelona, in 960. Repopulated by the Crown and the bishop of Barcelona (named archbishop of Tarragona), finally the king John I sold his rights on the city to the archbishopric in 1391. Tarragona has become the centre of the Tarraconensis ecclesiastic province, that gathers all the Catalonian dioceses: the city is the Episcopal see of the Catalan Church. | The Romans founded Tarraco (Latin name for Tarragona) on a hill near the Mediterranean sea, in 218 bC: the Imperial city (with 30.000 people living in, and having a circus, a theatre and an amphitheatre) became the chief town of Hispania Citerior, later called Tarraconensis province.
