TRAVEL TO MÉRIDA FOLLOWING IN THE FOOTSTEPS OF 'GLADIATOR'!
MÉRIDA: The birthplace of the “Hispanic” Maximus.
Spain is a country full of tourist destinations full of Roman ruins . It’s no surprise that the birthplace of Maximus was set in Hispania, more specifically in Trujillo (Cáceres).
In Trujillo, you can visit, among other places, the Roca Casterly, the Lannister family’s settlement in Game of Thrones and House of the Dragon.
Less than an hour’s drive from Trujillo is the Mérida Amphitheater.
This wonderfully preserved Roman Amphitheater, dating from the 1st century BC, was used for the gladiator battles depicted in the movie.
Being located in the ancient Roman city of Emérita Augusta makes it a perfect setting to recreate realistic fights in the arena!
