Tarragona
Tarragona is an ancient walled city about an hour's rail journey southwest of Barcelona, in Spain. During the Roman era, Tarragona - or Tarraco as it was then - was the leading city in the Roman province of Hispania and one of the leading cities in the Empire. The emperor Hadrian, famous for the wall built across northern England, was born here. It's still a gorgeous little town, full of history, museums, nice bars/cafes and things to see and well worth a visit if you're ever nearby. The history museum and the (free!) museum of modern art are especially recommended.
The pictures below show an ancient door I saw in a sidestreet. The b/w photo is a desaturated version of the colour photo. I like both. The film was Superia 200, which I am beginning to love with a passion. It's fabulous in bright light.
