Roman Monuments of Mérida

Highlight • Historical Site

Emerita Augusta was the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania and since then it has been the nerve center of Extremadura. Today it is the regional capital and the cradle of Roman heritage in southern Spain. Its archaeological and monumental complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attests to its importance for centuries.

Emerita Augusta was planned as a version of the capital of the empire in Lusitania, in its Roman theater a classical theater festival is still held today. The Roman bridge over the Guadiana, with its 800 meters, is the longest in the Iberian Peninsula. Mérida also has other Roman monuments such as the temple of Diana or the aqueduct. Its Arab citadel was also one of the bastions of the Muslim kingdom of Al-Andalus.

Highlight • Historical Site

Mérida is a World Heritage Site - thanks to its many monuments from Roman times: e.g. The old Roman theater, the Temple of Diana or the old Roman bridge are all to be visited. The Roman Museum is also worth a visit.
