Teatro Romano de Cádiz

This is a great place to be transported back into time and see how Cádiz was 2000 years ago. It’s free entry and mostly empty so you get to take in all the history without massive crowds of tourists. The displays are useful but not really necessary as you seeing the theatre with your own eyes is all you need. Definitely recommend this place.

Beautiful old style city. Many restaurants and small shops with food and ice cream. Take some time to wonder around and explore. You will find a small market in the old part of Cadiz. Here is an awesome place to try market place street food tapas style. Please go hungry you will want to try everything

An interesting monument that is worth going when near by. Definitely recommend it as it is free.

Very well presented Roman Amphitheatre with easy accessibility in Cadiz. Well worth visiting.

Free for EU citizens. It’s not much left of this theatre, but it is the oldest one around. It went through a lot of history so it’s worth seeing just because of that. The tunnel is in itself a very nice experience. It is the second largest theatre built by the Romans in Spain; only the theatre in Córdoba is larger. It is also the oldest known Roman theatre in Spain. It was constructed in around 70 BC.

A wonderful find: brilliant, small museum with just enough information to hook you! The video explaining the site was very useful and the artefacts were interesting, especially the graffiti. To walk the tunnel under the stand is really atmospheric. And even better: it’s free! Highly recommended.

Such an historical place. Definitely you should visit it in your stay in Cadiz

maybe not everyones cup of tea but its certainly interesting. it is free and not a lot of people come in here, but u should check it out!

What a hidden gem, once you find the aluminium doors which look similar to a lift, you enter a small piece of history which was discovered quite recently. Free to enter and suitable for most people of any age group. Located a short distance from the centre and very close to cathedral. Worth a visit.

The remains of an ancient theater, well peserved, including exhibitions. Free entrance when I visited. Very nice.

No tickets needed, great place full of history and information about the ruins. Even had some mockups of what it looked like during it's prime. Small informative movie that gives great insight into Roman culture

Beautiful and free Roman ruins right in the center of Cadiz.

A well put together small museum, showing this roman theatre as it was those many years ago, supplemented by a walk/tunnel under the arena, and then onto the terracing.
It is amazing how this has survived , and the entry is free

Nice little Roman theatre museum. Free entry and easy to walk around, get to see the outside as well as learn about the history before too

free visit to a real find for the city of Cadiz. it was a huge theatre and you get a scale of its size from what is still left. large curved tunnel indicates the builders knew what they were doing.

Entry is free and a great experience. History provided and exhibition on how the theatre would have been built. To see Roman ruins up close and in person was wonderful. We could not find it and got turned around a few times just be patient and ask the locals, they are helpful. Check for hours so you don't arrive when closed.

Its a free museum with a lot of information about the theater. The atmosphere was amazing and it was very informative. You can also enter the theater itself and experience it for yourself. Highly recommend it!

Nice place to visit

This is an example of beautifully preserved history. Built around 70 BC, it was one of the largest amphitheaters of the empire. It was a prominent theater for roughly 300 years. Cadiz was a very prominent city in Hispalis (Roman Spain), and Gaditanos were very well-respected. If you look closely, you can still see inscriptions reserved for Gaditanos (Cadiz) residents.

As far as the attraction is concerned, there is a great little museum with an informative and interactive video of the theater's history. There are enclosed exhibits as well. You are able to walk through a tunnel out to the outdoor seated area. The tunnel is my favorite part as it affords one a great deal of cooling (ancient air conditioner) on a hot summer day....which truly shows the brilliance of the ancient Romans.

The entrance is hard to find, google maps takes you to where the ruins are but not the entrance center. There is a picture that describes how to get there if you go to where the Google location takes you. The Roman theatre is free to enter so it’s a must-see for anyone who loves history and is on a budget. The theatre was only discovered in 1980 despite it being there for so long! It was used as a fort at one point as well. All of the history is described in the small museum that’s attached to the ruins.
