Roman Amphitheater Tarragona
The Roman Amphitheater of Tarragona sits on a cliff above the Mediterranean, a UNESCO-listed 2nd-century arena where gladiators fought with the sea as a backdrop. Entry is paid at a modest price (combined ticket with other Roman sites available). The view of the arena with the ocean behind it is unlike any other Roman site in Europe. Budget travelers take the cheap train from Barcelona (1 hour) and see Roman ruins in one of the most dramatic coastal settings in Spain.
