Theatre of Cartagena - murcia car hire

The theatre of Cartagena was one of the largest in Roman Spain, judging by its dimensions, its magnificent stage was in use between the 1st century b.C. and the 1st century a.D. The stalls were excaved in the rock, which is common in Greek arenae, but rather unusual in Roman monuments.

At number 29 of the El duque street, now a savings bank, there are traces of a Roman road, made with large black limestone blocks, and with all its usual elements, such as pavements and sewers. Here there are also remains of houses dating back to between the first century b.C. and the first century a.D. Similar traces may also be found at the Plaza de los Tres Reyes, where the road connecting the port with the Forum emerges again. The shafts for the columns of another public building, found in 1968, were later on erected on this road.
