Santiponce: Itálica Santiponce: Itálica No Data

Description


Itálica was once the third most important city in the Roman empire after Rome and Alexandria. It was the birth place of both Hadrian (he of the Scottish wall) and Trajan (he of the large forum in Rome). Today, not much of the site has been excavated, but that which has is stunning. The Amphitheatre is the single largest structure on the site and an amazing amount of it survives after over 2000 years.

Getting There

The last stop on the bus from Seville is the main entrance to Itálica (it does go for a wander around Santiponce and appears at times to be heading away from the site, but don't worry, it makes it there in the end!)
