The Forum of Tarragona is formed by a big square which was surrounded by shops or "tabernae" where the mercantil exchange was made. Nowadays, we can find traces of these "tabernae", of a Corinthian columns portic (which is thought that surrounded the square) and of a small building of 13 x 11 m. which is thought to be the Curia (where the mayor lived).
