Clunia

The excavated ruins extend across 120 hectares at Alto de Castro hill, featuring a theater, thermal baths, forum, and residential buildings from ancient Rome.

Emperor Tiberius established Clunia in the first century, transforming it into a judicial capital of northern Hispania until its decline in the third century.

The ancient Roman theater, carved into rock and accommodating 9000 spectators, now hosts an annual classical theater festival during summer months.

The archaeological site opens daily from 10:00 to 14:00 and 16:00 to 20:00 in summer, with guided tours available through advance telephone reservation.

The underground water system beneath Clunia supplied three thermal complexes through a network of natural caves and artificial conduits.
