The Plano de Tarragona of 1927 offers a detailed and captivating view of one of Spain’s oldest and most historically significant Mediterranean cities during a period of modernization and civic transformation. Created with the precision typical of early 20th-century Spanish cartography, this map captures Tarragona’s dual identity—a city deeply rooted in its Roman heritage yet embracing the progress of the modern age.

The map centers on the historic core, where the remains of Roman Tarraco—including the amphitheater, circus, and city walls—stand alongside the Cathedral of Santa Tecla and the medieval streets that define the upper part of the city. Surrounding these monuments, the 1927 map records the expansion of new neighborhoods, harbor facilities, and industrial zones, reflecting Tarragona’s growing role as both a provincial capital and a key Mediterranean port.

The Port of Tarragona, prominently illustrated, symbolizes the city’s economic dynamism in the early 20th century, while the Rambla Nova, with its tree-lined promenades and civic buildings, represents modern urban planning ideals. Tram routes, rail connections, and public parks also appear in detail, providing insight into the infrastructure and social life of the city at the time.

Produced under the supervision of the Instituto Geográfico y Estadístico, the Plano de Tarragona combines technical precision, clarity, and aesthetic craftsmanship. It served both practical and cultural functions—documenting the city’s geography while celebrating its monumental landscape and maritime vitality.
