The Tarragona Tower (also known as the Tarragona Arch) is a structure composed of a tower and arch built of coquina stone in Daytona Beach, Florida, United States.
The structure, built as the entrance to the Daytona Highlands subdivision in 1926, originally had two arches; one arch, that crossed Volusia Avenue (now International Speedway Boulevard), was removed by the United States Army in 1942 as a potential impediment to transportation; the other, crossing Tarragona Way, served as the subdivision's real estate office through crash of 1929, following which it was used as a community center through the 1950s. In 1994, as part of a road-widening project, the arch was moved 75 feet (23 m) to the south of its original location, no longer crossing Tarragona Way.
The Tarragona Arch is located at Tarragona Way and International Speedway Boulevard. On May 6, 2005, it was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.
