Private Tour of Tortosa
The tour begins at your convenience in front of the Castillo de la Zuda Castle, currently a Parador Nacional hotel. After learning about this 10th-century Arab fort, the tour proceeds to the historic centre of Tortosa. It includes a visit to the cobbled streets leading to the Santa María Basilica, where you can explore the interior after the tour. The guide will share the secret history of the basilica's facade overlooking the River Ebro.
The journey continues around the old town, where you'll see the facades of significant monuments such as the Reales Colegios and the Episcopal Palace. The expert guide will discuss Renaissance life in Tortosa, highlighting notable buildings, including the Oliver de Boteller Palace, a Gothic architectural marvel from the 16th century.
The final segment occurs on the banks of the River Ebro, reflecting on the battle of Ebro during the Spanish Civil War from July to November 1938. The private tour concludes after two and a half hours near a model of the Tortosa Cathedral, illustrating the design proposed by Martí d’Avaria in 1626.
