The Roman Theatre of Cartagena is one of the top tourist attractions in the city and it is truly incredible, however, it actually wasn’t even discovered until 1988! During excavation for a construction project, ground was broken on this incredible Roman amphitheatre accidentally. With excavation being completed in 2003 and a museum opening in 2008, visitors now have the opportunity to tour this excellently-preserved ruin that dates back to the years 5-1 BCE. Open Tuesday – Sunday, the €6 entry fee includes the well-curated museum which will tell you all about the history of this fascinating site along with entry into the theatre itself. And just a stone’s throw away from today’s city centre, you can also choose to visit the Barrio del Foro Romano, a Roman forum and remains of the city of Carthago Nova (New Carthage, where Cartagena gains its name). This is one of the biggest archaeological sites in all of Spain and it is absolutely fascinating.

So much to see and admire in Cartegena. I didn’t realise it was such a big place. Great shopping and lively places to eat. Remember to look up, so much beauty in the architecture.
