From the gate of the archaeological site, in the municipality of Santiponce, the tour of the exciting ancient Roman city of Italica begins.
The archaeological site of Italica was of great importance in the Roman world, in ancient Hispania, hence its relevance. Itálica is currently the most important archaeological site in the province of Seville.
The city that saw the birth of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian, is today a candidate to be included as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
You will discover the famous amphitheatre, one of the largest in the world with a capacity for 25,000 spectators, where the famous gladiator fights took place. In recent years it has become much more popular as it has been part of the setting for the popular series Game of Thrones. Visitors will have the option of walking through the “arena” and inside its galleries, taking them back more than 2000 years in time to Roman times.
If you can’t get to Santiponce or simply want to be picked up in Seville to enjoy this tour, you can book the guided tour with transport and also see the nearby medieval monastery of San Isidoro del Campo on the same excursion.
