Walk through a museum built underground to reach a Roman theatre that lay hidden for centuries. Emerge into the seating tiers with the old town rising behind.
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.
Enter at Plaza del Ayuntamiento and visit the galleries.
Follow the passage to the theatre and explore the seating.
