Tarragona, Tarragonès

About the place:

If your children like to be a kind of CSI  investigators for a while, they can do so at the Paleo-Christian Necropolis of Tarragona. In small groups you will attempt to find out which is the story that hides behind the rests of a character. Following a series of clues you will go to the department of archeology to discover the type of burieal of your character; at the physical anthropology area you will attempt to gauge the sex and the physical appearance of your character; in the department of epigraphy, you will have to find out the name... you will use material and reproductions of the exposed pieces: a heap of evidence to recompose the life of your character and to relive the history of the roman Tarraco.
