Top places to visit
1. Roman Theatre
When Mérida’s first citizens wanted to be entertained, one of the places they headed was the Roman Theatre. The venue was inaugurated around 15 B.C. and could accommodate up to 6,000 spectators. Allow at least half an hour for a self-guided tour of the well-preserved site. For many centuries, it lay buried underground, until excavations started in 1910.

2. Plaza de Espana
The Plaza de España has been a central feature of life in Mérida since medieval times. Over the years, it has hosted bullfights, festivals, markets, games, processions and executions. Today, come to the pretty square for a stroll and some relaxation as you watch passersby enjoying sunny days.

3. Puente Romano
More than 2,000 years after its construction, the Puente Romano is still in use. Cross the Guadiana River on this ancient bridge. This was one of the first Roman structures to be built in Mérida and it is one of the longest Roman bridges surviving in the modern world.

4. Plaza Mayor
The Plaza Mayor square in Cáceres is one of the town’s major historical landmarks. Stroll down its length and be rewarded with a gorgeous showcase of heritage architecture. You’ll see pretty whitewashed façades that rise up from street-level arcades of weathered stone. Check out atmospheric restaurants adorned with white awnings and sunny terraces or people-watch as you sit on the steps of a 15th-century tower.

5. Acueducto de los Milagros
Visit the Acueducto de los Milagros, constructed about 2,000 years ago to supply water to the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta, now known as Mérida. Like many Roman aqueducts, it was colossal. A small section remains today and is known as the Aqueduct of the Miracles, because of its awe-inspiring appearance.
