Full description

Itálica, founded in 206 BC, was the first Roman city in Hispania and the birthplace of the emperors Trajan and Hadrian. Just a short drive from Seville, its excavated quarter reveals grid-planned streets, the remains of grand houses with mosaic floors and one of the largest amphitheatres of the Roman world.

The tour continues to the nearby Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, a fortified medieval monastery with Gothic and Mudéjar features and notable mural paintings. Your guide connects the two sites, showing how the area’s history ran from Roman prosperity to medieval religious life.
