ITALICA ROMAN RUINS: just 10km far from Seville you will  find the ancient Roman ruins of Italica, the first Roman city in the Iberian Peninsula built in 206 b.C. The recovered mosaics let us imagine the richness of the houses, the archeological remains tell us how and where the temples, the terms or the complex structure of the sewage service were built. We can imagine the grandiosity of their streets because of the huge sculptures placed in strategic locations. The road reached in some points a  16m width, so you will find no problem to walk with large separation between persons in this place.
The most important point is the amphitheater, with a capacity of 25.000 people, one of the biggest amphitheater of the Roman world, which tells us about the importance of this city.
Let me show you the most interesting spots of these ruins and, together with a bit of knowledge about that times customs, you will be able to better understand the huge heritage left from Roman times.
