Abstract:

The work carried out since 2010 by Tarragona City Council, the Catalan Institute of Classical Archaeology (ICAC) and the Archbishopric of Tarragona has facilitated the production of three different projects. These projects all aim to increase and spread scientific knowledge and make it easily available to local citizens, as well as to all others who are interested. The three projects undertaken were: ‘In search of the Temple of Augustus: excavations in the central nave of Tarragona Cathedral’; ‘Amphiteatrum, memoria martyrum et ecclesiae. A Project for the socialisation of the amphitheatre of Tarragona: from archaeology to the history of religions’; and finally ‘The archaeological study of the apse of the Early Christian basilica of Saint Fructuosus in Tarragona’. The main novelty of these projects is the simultaneous preparation of different presentation formats included in the same scientific-educational project, which are presented together to society. These projects consist of historical reconstructions and the production of audiovisual materials, as well as permanent and temporary exhibitions that show their results. They also consist of educational publications that alternate with lectures and visits
