Tourist information - Reus
Reus isn't only a significant trade centre and as well as one of the towns with most cultural activity in Catalonia, it is also a crossroads where travellers should stop and also take a peaceful tour of its historic quarter.
Visitors may start the tour in Plaza de Prim, home of the exquisite Fortuny theatre, and take Calle de Monterols until visiting Plaza del Mercadal, where they could see Casa Navs, a modernist gem developed by Doménech i Montaner, which still contains all its period furniture, coffered ceilings and lamps. From Mercadal, following Carrer Major, you arrived at the Reading Centre, a popular cultural association with a valuable library and captivating artwork. Prominent in Plaza de Sant Pere is the Gothic church, from the 16th century, and also the octagonal belltower from where you can view the whole of the Costa Dorada. Outstanding among the museums of Reus is the Salvador Vilaseca Archaeology Museum as well as the Regional History Museum, with paintings and drawings by Mari? Fortuny and also sculptures by Joan Rebull.
