El Pallol vault
by Raimix
At Roman times the place was used as a part of Roman Forum. Vault was a long gallery, but still it is a mystery for what purposes it was used. Later, till the 16th century here was a church, later - as convent. As pallol (a store) for heats and as weigting house it was used for last 300 - 400 years.
Nowadays the building, still with features from Roman times, is a house of nice big ancient Tarraco city model, entrance is for free. It is so amazing to see that old town stands on the same sites as a Roman forum and circus were.
