The opportunity to work on a city project with a multidisciplinary team, addressing the complexity posed by the site: improving the urban environment and highlighting the existing heritage from different periods. The urban strategies have focused on reconnecting the museum with the city: expanding the arrival from the center, using the roof of the museum service building extension along Ramón y Cajal as a sidewalk. The intersection between this and a renewed Passeig de la Independència becomes a square with views of the entire Necropolis-Tabacalera complex, welcoming visitors from one of the most important access points to the city. Emphasizing the museum from the 1930s, the project aims to recover the access to the site and the importance of this arrival axis, linking the new sidewalk on Independència, the staircase, the original classical garden, and the porticoed entrance of the historic/central building. After thirty years of closure, the building will regain its original spirit and grandeur with a museographic project adapted to modern times.

One of the key elements of the plan is opening the site as a new urban archaeological park, continuing the Francolí river park and unifying the different layers: the urban, the original museum, and the archaeological. A series of embankments will connect the public space with the park naturally, softening the current boundaries marked by a massive concrete wall, and introducing native vegetation and accessible pathways.

Through the dialogue between the team and the MNAT (National Museum of Tarraco), a powerful museographic resource has been developed, allowing visitors to become aware of the large number of pieces the museum houses: the visitable reserve. A large-scale exhibition system, properly protected, will turn this into a collection accessible to both museum staff and visitors. The work aims to reintroduce the Necropolis Museum into the urban fabric, believing that improving the museum and its surroundings will lead to progress in the surrounding urban life, helping to enhance not only the history of Tarraco but also this part of the city, which already promises the beginning of a new centrality in Tarragona.
