Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida

The colony of Augusta Emerita, which became present-day Mérida in Estremadura, was founded in 25 B.C. at the end of the Spanish Campaign and was the capital of Lusitania. The well-preserved remains of the old city include, in particular, a large bridge over the Guadiana, an amphitheatre, a theatre, a vast circus and an exceptional water-supply system. It is an excellent example of a provincial Roman capital during the empire and in the years afterwards.

The Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida holds the remains of many public buildings that were the trademarks of a major Roman provincial capital. Mérida was founded in 25 BC with the name of Emerita Augusta. The city became the capital of Lusitania province, and one of the most important cities in the Roman empire. 

Mérida preserves more important ancient Roman monuments than any other city in Spain. They include:

- Guadiana bridge

- Amphitheatre

- Theatre

- Temple of Diana

- Arch of Trajan

- Circus

- Water supply system

- Baths

- Residences

- Tombs

Some later monuments (like the Moorish Alcazabar and two early Christian churches) are also part of the as world heritage site designated area.
