Museo del Teatro de Caesaraugusta

The Museo del Teatro de Caesaraugusta displays the remains of a Roman theater with preserved seating sections and stage areas covered by a transparent roof. The site spans thousands of square meters and shows how audiences once sat and how performances took place in this ancient structure.

The theater was built in the early Roman period and served as a major venue until it gradually fell into disuse centuries later. The structures became buried and forgotten under the city until they were uncovered again in modern times.

The theater reflects how Romans in this city gathered for entertainment and civic events, with different seating areas revealing social divisions of that time. Walking through the space today, you notice how the structure still shapes the way people move and experience the place.

As a visitor, you can walk on the original paths where ancient audiences moved and explore the different theater areas from various viewpoints. Use the marked walkways and viewing areas to get a complete understanding of how the space was arranged.

An alert resident accidentally discovered the site during construction work in the 1970s and reported the findings to authorities, sparking systematic excavations. This chance discovery turned what was forgotten under the city into an open museum where you walk among ancient stones.
