About the Item
This image depicts a historical map of the province of Tarragona, which is in the northeastern part of Spain, within the autonomous community of Catalonia. The map is dated 1901, suggesting that it is over a century old and would have been created during a time when maps were one of the primary means of recording and communicating geographical information.
Tarragona is a coastal province, as indicated by its boundary with the Mediterranean Sea. Known for its rich history dating back to the Roman Empire, Tarragona houses significant archaeological sites, including the Tarragona Amphitheatre and the Roman Circus, which are part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Tárraco, a UNESCO World Heritage site.
The map details the physical geography of the region, including mountain ranges, rivers, and the coastline. It shows a network of transportation from that era, including railways, roads, and possibly telegraph lines, which are identified by the legend's symbols on the map.
