Tortosa preserves significant examples of medieval, Renaissance, baroque and modernist architecture. It has been declared to be Historic-Artistic Heritage and some of its buildings, such as the castle of
La Suda, are National Monuments.
The city is located near the mouth of the river Ebro and the first thing to attract attention is the Arab castle of La Suda, perched on a hill. Visitors can stay there if they wish since it has been converted into a Parador de Turismo hotel.
Near the river is the old part of town, with its 14th-century Gothic Cathedral with a baroque façade, three naves and a cloister, outstanding inside which is the richly-coloured high reredos, from the 14th century; and the reredos of the Transfiguration, from the 15th century, as well as the chapel of La Cinta, from the 18th century, with Italian marble and jasper from Tortosa.
