Plaza de Tarraco-Rambla del President Lluís Companys

The New Rambla Boulevard ends with the circular Plaza of the Imperial Tarraco (Plaça Imperial Tàrraco on the map). The square appeared in 1958, becoming the hub of the main city highways - here the star converge 8 streets. The square is surrounded by several public buildings, including the Ciutat de Tarragona hotel, whose ground floor is occupied by the bus station (on the right).

In the middle of the square is a small Park with an artificial pond and a bridge spanning it - a popular meeting and walking place for residents of Tarragona.

The aftermath of yesterday's storm. Here it was more pronounced than in Barcelona, and today was a windy day. But compared to what I saw in those days on the TV news from the North of Spain, this is just an ordinary breeze.

Behind the square the line of the New Rambla continues with a wide BoulevardRambla del President Lluís Companys.

Monument to Luis Companis-123 President of the province of Catalonia, who held this position during the Civil war. A staunch defender of Catalan independence, companis was repeatedly jailed, and after the Republicans came to power in 1936, He was elected President of Catalonia and played a major role in uniting various political movements in a United front against fascism. After the defeat of the Republicans, he fled to France, where he was kidnapped by Gestapo agents and handed over to the Spanish secret police. He was executed in the fortress of Montjuic in 1940.

The Boulevard ends with a circular square-Plaça de la Generalitat.
