Roman ruins of Itálica and its great amphitheater

The Conjunto Arqueológico de Itálica in Santiponce is one of the most important Roman jewels on the Iberian Peninsula. The ancient birthplace of emperors Trajan and Hadrian, it preserves an imposing Roman amphitheater with a capacity for 25,000 spectators and original mosaics in the noble domus.

Walking through its cobbled streets allows you to immerse yourself in the history of Roman Hispania through its well-preserved thermal baths, temples, and public buildings.

It is advisable to visit first thing in the morning to avoid the midday heat and to wear comfortable footwear for walking on the dirt paths.
