Teatro Romano

Cadiz, the oldest existing city in western Europe, is home to many beautiful and historic monuments and attractions. One of Cadiz's most famous landmarks is the Iglesia de Santa Cruz, the old cathedral. There is a well preserved Roman amphitheatre.

On the seaward edge of the Barrio del Pópulo, Cádiz' Roman theatre dates from the late 1st century BCE and, originally, had space for 10,000 spectators. A Moorish castle was later erected here, then rebuilt by Alfonso X El Sabio. You can access the excavated theatre via its modern interpretation centre, which has English- and Spanish-language displays detailing the site's history.
