ROMAN THEATRE OF MERIDA – SPAIN

What have the Romans ever done for us?  The answer is simple, Architecture.
We started the tour at the Roman Amphitheater. A UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1993, the Amphitheater once hosted gladiatorial combats. We liked how half of the monument was restored , to show what it actually looked like in ancient Roman times, while the other part was left alone.

ROMAN THEATER

Walking into Merida's Roman theater is incredible. It is absolutely gorgeous, extremely well-preserved, and simply immense.

Carelo  Reservoir is an artificial lake.
Although swimming is prohibited, boating, water-skiing, and jet-skiing are permitted in the reservoir.

The reservoir captures and stores winter runoff from the nearby foothills
