Highlight • Historical Site

Emerita Augusta was the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania and since then it has been the nerve center of Extremadura. Today it is the regional capital and the cradle of Roman heritage in southern Spain. Its archaeological and monumental complex, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, attests to its importance for centuries.

Emerita Augusta was planned as a version of the capital of the empire in Lusitania, in its Roman theater a classical theater festival is still held today. The Roman bridge over the Guadiana, with its 800 meters, is the longest in the Iberian Peninsula. Mérida also has other Roman monuments such as the temple of Diana or the aqueduct. Its Arab citadel was also one of the bastions of the Muslim kingdom of Al-Andalus.

Capitoline She-Wolf of Mérida

Highlight • Monument

The Capitoline Wolf of Mérida is a replica of the one found in the Capitoline Museums in Rome. It was a gift from the Italian city to Mérida in 1997. This sculpture represents the founding of the Roman Empire and shows Romulus and Remus being breastfed by a wolf named Luperca. According to mythology, these two brothers were the ones who founded the city of Rome. The sculpture is located in a roundabout next to the door of the Arab Alcazaba, specifically in the Plaza de Roma, near the Roman Bridge.
