Tarragona - Archeological Museum

(Local Name: Museo Arqueológico / Museu Arqueològic) From the Paseo Arqueológico the Paseo de Torroja (Catalan Passeig de Torroja) and Paseo de San Antonio (Passeig de Sant Antoni) go past the Puerta de San Antonio (Portal i Creu de Sant Antoni) to the Archeological Museum, which has one of Spain's finest collections of Roman art. Particularly notable are a number of mosaics, including a fine Medusa's head and a Bacchic scene. Other items include architectural elements from Tarragona, Roman sculpture and pottery, and an ivory doll 23cm/9in. long (fourth C. A.D.) found in a child's tomb. In the basement of the museum are the excavated foundations of Roman walls.
