Background
Site DescriptionThe large Roman theater of Merida was constructed between 15 and 16 century BC and the adjacent amphitheater was built in the 8th century BC. The amphitheater has an elliptical shape with an arena of 64 meters by 41 meters used for gladiatorial contests and 15,000 spectators and has lowest, middle and upper tier rows for the ruling classes and the commoners.
