What are the attractions of Tarragona worth exploring in just half a day?

Responds to Information department of "Subtlety of Tourism"
The main attractions in Tarragona are quite compact, and, not delaying, to have time to inspect in half a day can be much. It starts with the ancient monuments of the heyday of the Roman Empire, which has been preserved here a lot. It is a Roman amphitheater where gladiatorial fights, a circus for sports, ruins of fortress walls, a forum, etc. were held. The amphitheater offers a beautiful view from the Mediterranean balcony: surrounded by a forged lattice of a viewing platform on a precipice. New Ramble Street leads to it.

Medieval attractions are no worse: fortifications (the San Diego bastion, the Black Fort), castles (Abbot, Royal, Pilate's Castle), towers (Theologian, Archbishop's).

And you can pay more attention to the city itself: squares, streets, the Cathedral, the palace of Kastelyarnau, the mansion of Balsels and other buildings. Including the house with a false (painted) facade. It appeared only in 1995, but already managed to eclipse many historical monuments of the city.
