Tickets included in the price.

A 3.5-hour tour to travel back to Ancient Rome without leaving Mérida!

Spain is a country full of Roman heritage destinations! It’s no surprise that the origins of Gladiator’s protagonist, Maximus, were placed in Hispania, in the region of present-day Extremadura.

This tour provides an in-depth explanation of the Roman city of Mérida and its history, through its main monuments in the historic center and its impressive Amphitheater, always accompanied by an expert guide.

This ancient and wonderfully preserved Roman amphitheater, dating back to the 1st century BC, was used for gladiator battles depicted in Ridley Scott’s film. Located in the ancient Roman city of Emérita Augusta, it is the perfect setting to recreate realistic combat in the arena!

Experience available in Spanish.
