From the 18th to the 30th of May, Tarragona is holding the sixth edition of the Annual Festival of Roman History, better known as [url=http://www.museutgn.com/tv2004/index.html" target="top]Tarraco Viva[/url], which is organised by the Dissemination Service of the [url=http://www.museutgn.com/" target="top]Tarragona Museum of History[/url]. For almost two weeks, a whole range of events will commemorate the city's Roman past.<br>
<br>
And the events are indeed many and varied: cavalry parades, gladiator fights, musical and theatrical performances, fairs of various products, lectures, areas at which to taste the cooking of the time, guided walks to learn about the myths and beliefs of the Ancient Romans… And all this in the unique context of a city that preserves excellent examples of the rich architectural and sculptural heritage of ancient Tarraco.<br>
<br>
Some of these events require prior booking or invitation; others do not; some are free and some are not; and many of them are held at monuments that have been declared a UNESCO world heritage site.<br>
<br>
As well as submerging the visitor in the atmosphere of the Ancient Roman city, TÃ rraco Viva also lets him get closer to Ancient Roman times in general, providing information on museums, monuments and archaeological sites in different European countries.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately I'll not be able to attend to the festival. Is anyone in this forum near Tarragona or has plans to attend the meeting?<br>
