Full description
Just a few kilometres from Seville lies Italica, one of the most important Roman cities on the Iberian Peninsula. Founded in 206 BC by General Publius Cornelius Scipio, this ancient city offers a fascinating journey through the history and grandeur of the Roman Empire.
The tour begins with a drive through the Andalusian landscape to the archaeological site, located in Santiponce. Upon arrival, the impressive ruins transport you to another era, where life revolved around the majestic amphitheater, one of the largest in the Empire, with capacity for 25,000 spectators. Here, gladiators and beasts engaged in epic battles to the acclaim of the public.
Walking through its cobbled streets, it is possible to admire the remains of ancient houses decorated with magnificent mosaics, a reflection of the luxury and sophistication of the Roman aristocracy. The baths, a key element in daily life, reveal the customs and rituals of hygiene and socialization. In the heart of the city, temples and forums evoke the splendour of a time when Italica was an important political and cultural centre.
The tour not only allows you to learn in depth about the history of this legendary Roman city, but also to enjoy free time to explore at your own pace, take photographs and immerse yourself in the unique atmosphere of this historic enclave. Italica is an essential destination to discover the Roman legacy in Spain and relive the splendour of a civilisation that marked history.
