Itinerary
1
Anfiteatro de Italica
We will begin the excursion to the Roman city of Itálica, departing from Seville around 9:30 a.m. In just over 15 minutes we will arrive at the nearby town of Santiponce, where more than 2000 years ago the Romans founded their first city on the Iberian Peninsula. Our official guide will give you a brief presentation of the place and we will enter the ancient city where emperors like Hadrian and Trajan were born to discover all the secrets of the place. We will walk along the ancient Roman streets, mosaics, thermal baths and houses, such as Neptune's or "the House of the Birds." These will be some of the preserved wonders that we will have the opportunity to discover in a tour full of very surprising images. The famous Itálica Amphitheater is the third largest in the world, with a capacity for 25,000 spectators and where the famous gladiator fights took place. We will also see its famous Roman Theatre, discovered in the middle of the 20th century.
