The restaurant, like many other buildings in the area, was built inside the old Roman Circus enclosure, but there is something that clearly differentiates it from the rest of the places that occupy this ancient space: its location within the enclosure. Unlike other establishments located within the vaults of the Circus, El Pulvinar is located on the cusp of the stands, just above the remains of the tribune, the place reserved for the high elite of the city and Roman province to watch the spectacles.

Just behind El Pulvinar began the Via Triumphalis, which traced a straight path between the stands and the Temple of Augustus. This ancient via roughly corresponds to the current Carrer Major (Main Street). Today El Pulvinar is a restaurant and pizzeria that has become a Tarragona classic. Inside its rooms we can enjoy, amid ancient archaeological remains, a style of Italian cuisine that, like the Romans of two thousand years ago, has also made its home in Tarragona.

The restaurant is accessed through Carrer dels Ferrers, 30. Menu available at the website.
