Full description

Cartagena’s Roman Theatre dates from the late first century BC, when the city was an important Roman port. Over the centuries it disappeared beneath later buildings, including a cathedral, and was only rediscovered in 1988.

The museum leads you through galleries of sculpture, altars and architectural pieces, then along a passage beneath the old cathedral ruins and out into the theatre itself. The visit runs at your own pace and is a short walk from the port and Calle Mayor.
