Right in front of the Cathedral, in the very heart of the old town, hides a unique experience that is winning over both locals and visitors alike: TimePort. It’s a virtual portal that transports you to 2nd-century Roman Tarragona, like you’ve never seen it before.
During a 25-minute immersive journey, visitors are plunged into a 360° recreation of Tarraco, one of the key cities of the Roman Empire.
The experience is divided into three parts:
It all begins with a flight over ancient Tarraco — not only visually stunning, but also highly informative: the narration guides you through the structures and places you in historical context, with no prior knowledge needed.
After the flight, a more intimate second part takes you through a first-person account narrated by a fictional character from the time, who shares what life was like in Tarraco and explains local customs.
The third and final part offers a visual and narrative comparison with modern-day Tarragona, helping visitors understand how the city’s layout, architecture, and even its identity remain deeply connected to its Roman roots.
This part often moves local visitors, especially, who leave seeing their city through new eyes.
TimePort Tarragona is designed for all audiences — both for those visiting Tarragona for the first time and for those who’ve been walking its streets for years. It’s the perfect activity for history lovers or simply curious minds.
No previous experience with virtual reality is required: the team is there to guide you at all times, and the experience is designed to be comfortable and easy to enjoy.
The feedback speaks for itself: visitors often say it’s a completely new way to discover the city, or that they never expected something so well executed.
For many, it’s their very first contact with virtual reality… and one of the most memorable activities of their visit.
Reservations are recommended, although you’re also welcome to stop by without one.
