Founded in the 2nd century BC by Scipio, Italica was the first Roman settlement in Spain. It’s amphitheater, which seated 25,000, has served as a quarry for later structures, with little of its original marble surface still in place. Many of the pillars in the mosque in Cordoba came from Italica.

I’ve been to italica a few times as i live in Seville. Always love going there, lovely pictures. Where else did you go in Seville?

Thanks. I loved Spain, It was my first trip there. And Seville is a fascinating place. I was with a tour so we did the regulars, the palace and the cathedral. Loved them. The Columbus tomb is spectacular. I also went to Salvator, where several pasos were on display. Definitely want to return. I am thinking about a short course in Spanish. Any schools you would recommend that aren’t just of the college age crowd?

If you get the chance you should visit Merida in Extramadura for some wonderful Roman buildings.
