Mérida: Full-Day Guided Trip in Spanish

Merida

Begin the visit by accessing the Roman Theater of Merida and enter through the "vomitorium" to reach the seating area and learn how spectators were arranged based on social rank. 

See the "orchestra," where the choir was placed, and the stage, the site of performances. Behind the stage stands the scaenae frons, Mérida's most recognizable symbol. 

Learn about the Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico that currently takes place here, its origins, and key figures. 

Enter the amphitheater arena to get a sense of how gladiatorial fights, popular and significant to the colony's citizens, were conducted. These fights became even more popular when wild animals were introduced.

Visit the Mérida Roman Theater and the city’s historic sites at your own pace with an e-ticket and a self-guided audio tour on your smartphone. Receive your ticket by email, download the app and the audio tour on your phone before your visit, and learn about Mérida’s Roman heritage.

Put on your headphones and explore the Roman Theater, the Amphitheater, the House of the Amphitheater, Saint Eulalia’s Crypt, the Temple of Diana, the Archaeological Site of Morerías, the Alcazaba, the Mithraeum House, the funeral area of the Columbarios, and the Roman Circus. Hear historical information and stories from ancient times. The audio tour is based on thorough research and offers brief, informative stories. You can use the audio tour any time before or after your visit.

Join a guided walking tour starting at Puerta de la Villa with an introduction to the city's history.

Move to Plaza de España to see the Concatedral de Santa María la Mayor. Head to the Morerías archaeological site to see the longest preserved section of an ancient wall.

Walk along the Guadiana riverbank until reaching the Alcazaba Árabe and the ancient Roman Bridge.
