Roman Amphitheatre

TIME : 2016/2/19 1:43:31

Uncovered in 1951, this Roman theatre slap-bang in the city centre had lain hidden for hundreds of years. It was built in the time of Augustus (1st century AD) and remains relatively well-preserved. An adjacent interpretive centre has touch screens and some artefacts dug up from the site. The theatre is particularly evocative at night with the Alcazaba illuminated behind it.
