Tarragona Cathedral, located in the city of Tarragona, Spain, is a stunning example of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. Constructed between the 12th and 14th centuries, the cathedral stands on the site of a former Roman temple dedicated to Jupiter, as well as a later Moorish mosque. The building features a grand façade with a large rose window and an impressive main entrance adorned with intricate sculptures. Inside, visitors can admire a rich collection of medieval art, including a magnificent altarpiece by Pere Johan and Bartolomeu de Robió. The cloister, one of the most beautiful in Spain, offers a peaceful retreat with its ornate capitals and serene garden.
