Podcast Tour The Recycled City of Tarragona

47 minutesGerman, EnglishTarragona, Spain

From

Discover the ultimate architectural recycling project. In Tarragona, the medieval world didn't just replace the Roman Empire; it swallowed it whole. Join historian Max and architectural detective Irene on a journey through a city where chariot tracks became medieval basements, pagan temples were weaponized into soaring Gothic cathedrals, and ancient stones hide the erased histories of marginalized communities. This isn't just a walk through ruins; it's a masterclass in how a city survives the collapse of an empire by building directly on top of its corpse.
