Anfiteatro y necrópolis romana, Roman archaeological complex in Carmona, Spain
The archaeological site contains a necropolis and amphitheater carved into rock, displaying numerous funeral chambers and underground structures from the Roman period.
The site was discovered in 1868 during leveling work, leading to extensive research by Juan Fernández López and George Bonsor starting in 1881.
The necropolis reveals Roman burial practices, featuring cremation sites, family mausoleums, and decorated chambers with painted walls depicting scenes from that period.
The archaeological complex spans eight hectares in western Carmona and includes the Elephant Tomb, Servilia Tomb, and Circular Mausoleum among its main structures.
The amphitheater, built during the 1st century CE, represents the first construction of its type in Spain and combines entertainment space with burial functions.
