Mérida, Roman City (20 Km from the Hotel)
In the city of Mérida, capital of the region, we can travel 20 centuries back in time in order to go to the theatre in the era of the Roman Emperor Octavio Augusto, or get lost in its countless monuments and museums of that period.
 

The Roman Theatre  is without any doubt the most emblematic monument of the city during the day, and it is  transformed in a show which attendance is a must during the night in Merida.

 

In order to feel yourself as a gladiator without being afraid of the beasts you only have to come into the arena of the Roman Anphitheatre or to contemplate the majesty of  the Circus, with capacity for 30.000 spectators.
