The provincial forum



As capital of the Provincia Hispania Citerior, in addition to the Colonial Forum which dealt with local affairs, Tàrraco had a Provincial Forum with the different departments and services of the provincial government. We know exactly where the outer perimeter (320 x 175 metres) of the Provincial Forum was situated from the sections of wall that can still be seen at several points in the old town. We have, however, almost no knowledge of the inner distribution of the square and the architecture of its buildings. The towers of the Praetorium and the Audience at the two southern corners of the facade completed the enclosure.
