Roman Theatre of Cádiz

The Roman Theatre of Cádiz, the Theatrum Balbi, was built in the 1st century BC and rediscovered in 1980 in the El Pópulo quarter. Its seating measured about 118 metres across and held around 10,000 people. A visitor centre on Calle Mesón explains the site with models and finds, and a vaulted gallery under the seating leads out to part of the excavated tiers.
