Roman Theater & Amphitheater of Merida: Guided Tour
About this experience
Begin the visit by accessing the Roman Theater of Merida and enter through the "vomitorium" to reach the seating area and learn how spectators were arranged based on social rank.
See the "orchestra," where the choir was placed, and the stage, the site of performances. Behind the stage stands the scaenae frons, Mérida's most recognizable symbol.
Learn about the Festival Internacional de Teatro Clásico that currently takes place here, its origins, and key figures.
Enter the amphitheater arena to get a sense of how gladiatorial fights, popular and significant to the colony's citizens, were conducted. These fights became even more popular when wild animals were introduced.
