Private Tour of Tortosa
The tour begins whenever you choose, starting in front of the Castillo de la Zuda, now a Parador Nacional hotel. You will learn about the history of this 10th-century Arab fort before proceeding to the historic centre of Tortosa. The cobbled streets lead to the Santa María Basilica, which you can visit at the tour's conclusion, as well as the secret history of its facade, facing the River Ebro.
The route continues through the old town, where you will view other notable monuments, including the Reales Colegios and the Episcopal Palace. Your expert guide will share insights into the Renaissance period of the city, featuring significant buildings like the Oliver de Boteller Palace, a Gothic marvel from the 16th century.
The final segment of the tour is along the banks of the River Ebro, focusing on the battle of Ebro during the Spanish Civil War from July to November 1938. The private tour ends after two and a half hours by the model of the Tortosa Cathedral, showing the proposed design by Martí d’Avaria in 1626.
