Early Christian Necropolis and Museum

The site has more than 2,000 tombs dating from between the 3rd and 5th centuries AD.

This necropolis is found next to the Archaeological Museum of Tarragona, where numerous early Christian burial sites are preserved. The origin of the cemetery dates back to the second half of the 3rd century. Subsequent excavation work uncovered up to 2,050 tombs of various types. Many of the burial sites are located around and inside a basilica, where a tomb can be identified with an inscription that refers to Fructuoso, Augurio and Eulogio, the martyrs of Tarragona. This basilica dates back to the 5th century AD. Sculptures, marble statues and grave goods were also discovered at the necropolis.
