Antiquarium (Metropol Parasol – Las Setas)

Italica: The First Roman City in Hispania

You will see the remains of its theatre and walk through the ruins of luxurious Roman houses decorated with intricate 2,000-year-old mosaics. With your expert guide, you’ll learn how this prosperous Roman town shaped the region’s history.
