The Rovira i Virgili University has its faculties and schools in Tarragona, Reus and Vila-seca. Taragona is the main focus of activity and is where most of the faculties and schools are. The city is more than 2000 years old and is on the shores of the Mediterranean, which makes it a paradigm of the Mediterranean culture. A World Heritage site, history lives alongside modernity and both economic and industrial progress, which makes it a place that is full of life and new projects. Reus is 11 kilometres away. It is a welcoming town, full of cultural dynamism and commercial life, and the perfect place to take long walks and admire its important modernist heritage. Vila-seca, eight kilometres from Tarragona, is a small town of great touristic importance, next to the theme park Port Aventura. Barcelona id only 100 kilometres away and is well communicated with these three towns.
