World Heritage Site

Following in the footsteps of man allows us to know the essence of a unique territory. On the Costa Daurada, this historical discourse has important chapters that have left exceptional legacies, some included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. 

From the cave paintings, which primitive societies made in shelters and caves such as those of Montblanc and Capçanes, through the infrastructures and facilities of the Roman empire to ancient Tarraco. Not forgetting the Middle Ages and the construction of New Catalonia with monasteries such as Santa Maria de Poblet. 

Although heritage is exciting, human towers bring unique, magical moments to life... For more than two centuries, the castellers have been erecting buildings with values that make them unique and that are preserved as a symbol of the country. There are many towns and cities on the Costa Daurada that have human tower groups and we suggest you follow the locals or not miss the great human tower days in the squares of the villages of this territory.

Throughout the geography of the Costa Daurada you will find dry stone constructions: huts, stone-cutting margins, vaulted huts, caves or ponds and cisterns. All of them have been included in the list of Intangible Heritage of Humanity.

But the World Heritage list also includes gastronomy because the Mediterranean diet is considered one of the cultural assets that we must also preserve. The ingredients of this cuisine can be tasted on the menus of the restaurants of the Costa Daurada.
