The city of Tarragona was the ancient capital of the Roman province of Tarraco, which is why it is now a place of great historical and archaeological value. The Tarraco Amphitheatre, the Roman Forum and its wall are some of the most impressive historical sites.

Altafulla Castle was first documented in 1059. The current building, dating primarily from the 17th century, adjoins the walls of Vila Closa and has an irregular floor plan. The crenellated parapet gives it the appearance of a fortress. The predominant Renaissance style is clearly evident in the doors and windows. During the First Carlist War, it served as barracks for the Altafulla militia, and during the Civil War (1936–1939), it housed troops and militiamen. It is privately owned and not open to the public.

Be careful, if you take the ramp directly from La Mora at the roundabout, you'll be pushing your bike! This is a steep hiking trail and not suitable for mountain bikers.
