2. Apostle Paul in Tarragona Marker
Another marker is no longer nearby. Casa del Cambrer / House of the Steward (was about 90 meters away but has been replaced with another marker now near it).
Also see . . . Paul the Apostle at Wikipedia. While it is currently considered conjecture that Paul may have traveled as far as Tarragona, it is entirely possible. Local tradition says that he preached from a stone near this monument and a chapel was later built there. (Submitted on December 29, 2023.)
