Roman Monuments of Mérida

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.

Fountain at Plaza de España, Mérida

Highlight • Monument

The square has its origins in the time of the Catholic Monarchs and has had two main functions throughout its history: commercial and festive. Fairs, bullfights, theater, masquerades and other events were held there.
In the square, you will find several historic buildings, such as the Palacio de Los Mendoza, La Casa de Los Pacheco, El Círculo Emeritense, La Casa Consistorial, El Palacio de La China and the Co-Cathedral of Santa María. Additionally, in the center of the square, there is a 19th century neo-baroque marble fountain with putti mounted on dolphins.
I hope you enjoy exploring the Plaza de España in Mérida! 😊
