Museum of the Roman Theater of Cartagena

The Roman theater, built between 5 and 1 BC, had a capacity for about 7000 spectators, and was in use until the third century, from which time several buildings were superimposed. In 1988 it was exhumed. With a capacity of about 7000 spectators, it was one of the largest in Roman Hispania, excavated almost entirely in the rock. The Roman Theater Museum, designed by architect Rafael Moneo, takes visitors inside the monument, turning the Roman Theater into its last great hall.

The façade is made entirely of white marble, and the zinc domes stand out on the roof. The entire exterior is repeatedly decorated with the emblems of the city: the castle of the Conception of the coat of arms of the city, and the mural crown, awarded by the Roman general Scipio Africanus when he took the city of Carthago Nova.

The city of Carthago Nova was one of the most splendid of the Roman Empire. Since Republican times, it had a large amphitheater. The Roman forum of Carthago Nova was located in the center of the city, at the confluence of the main roads and between the mountains. The forum was located approximately under the current San Francisco square and has been partially excavated. Among the main monuments of the forum that have been found so far are: - Temple dedicated to the Capitoline triad: Jupiter, Juno and Minerva. - The augusteum. - The curia, seat of the government of the colony. - Baths and palestra of the low imperial period. - The temple of Isis.
