Wonderful Roman ruins with a lot fewer turists than the more known ones. Really well preserved and restored, you can go right into the theater. They still host shows there in the summer. Bathroom facilities and a gift shop.

Amazing place, full of history, built over 2000 years ago and still plenty of beauty and magic that arises every summer for the International Theatre Festival. A touristic visit during the day will allow you to walk through the stones, columns, statues... Attending one of the representations on the theatre nights will walk you through the ages to feel the real Roman plays. The acoustic is incredible, the sky full of stars, the stone keeping (usually) the heat from the day, and the breeze bringing the smells of trees around. If you come to Mérida, the Theatre is a must, if you can come in summer, book your tickets for the theatre in advance. You'll love it.

Amazing Roman site, especially the restoration/recreation of the Theatre. Apart from the ones in Turkey and the eastern med this is the best one I’ve seen in mainland Europe. The amphitheatre is also very impressive and the rest of the site is well maintained and full of information boards.

Great roman ruins full of history, well preserve and explain. Wonderful place to spend nearly a full day, highly recommended.

I definately want to visit this place when I have more time & background information.

Outstanding Teatro with vivid reminders of Ancient times...Set in lush gardens where you take a journey along gravel paths...The Romans really did know how to put on a show...Visited on a Friday afternoon, not busy at all...Giving you time to take it all in...A must in Merida! Resident Cowboy of Portugal since 2016!

An impressive, well conserved , and marvelous archeological roman theater that is still used today for concerts, ballets, and usual plays. Each summer the theatre is a site for festivals in Merida,Spain

Stunning example of a museum supporting adjacent archaeological site. Most of the significant artefacts were moved to the museum for protection and safekeeping. What a comprehensive display. Worth the entry fee but even better on a free day! 😀

Incredible! A Beautiful museum i'll always will recomend. I love how the mosaics are exposed

This is one of the best museums we have visited - anywhere in the world. Superbly done. 👍👍👍

Moderner Museumsbau, in dem Überreste aus 700 Jahren römischer Besiedlung präsentiert werden. Durch die großzügige Raumaufteilung kommen auch große Kunstwerke wie Mosaikfußböden oder Statuen gut zur Geltung. Die Krypta wird leider zur Zeit saniert und kann nicht besichtigt werden. Es macht Sinn, sich die zahlreichen Ausgrabungsstellen in der Stadt vorher anzuschauen. (Translated by Google) Modern museum building in which remains from 700 years of Roman settlement are presented. Thanks to the generous room layout, even large works of art such as mosaic floors or statues are shown to their best advantage. Unfortunately, the crypt is currently being renovated and cannot be visited. It makes sense to take a look at the numerous excavation sites in the city beforehand.

This museum, in fact, this entire city center, is an archaeological, dig along the lines of anything you would see in Italy with so many treasures they are still finding from the old capital of Lusitania back in ancient Rome. If you’re at all interested in ancient Roman history and you’re in Spain you really should see the city which is a world heritage site. it’s unbelievable that a city way out in the extremadura has a rich historical inheritance, and the museum is very well organized and beautiful for a city of modest size. Ole!

Those who have an interest both in Roman Art and contemporary architecture are twice rewarded with this museum. The building is a master work of Rafael Moneo , architect from the province of Navarre, who has combined simplicity with majesty to create a singular space for the impressive collection that comes from the ancient Roman city of Emerita Augusta, today the modern city of Merida . By means of an underground gallery, visitors can gain access to the Amphitheater and Theatre, the latter being one of the best conserved from the Roman Empire within Western Europe .

Crypt was closed while we were there, but the (free) museum is excellent for such a small city. Not too big, but not too small. Somewhat comparable to the Shanghai museum (my favorite), a little smaller and narrower in scope, but with a similar care in how the exhibits are organized and quality of placard details. Quite impressive, should be even better when they are finished with upgrades/repairs. You might want to do it on a different day than all the outdoor sites, doing it all in one day is fun but exhausting.

Excellent museum with some interesting artefacts. Not too big so an hour is all that’s needed to visit comfortably. The crypt was closed for renovation when I visited.

Fantastic museum but it needs some updating. Parts of the exhibition were closed because it rained through the roof, the crypt was closed due to technical issues, the lighting in some of the showcases was dead. Nevertheless super impressive, beautiful artifacts

Very interesting guided tour. Make sure you book the tour before hand, it might be full for the day. It is free and Spanish only

Fantastic Museum. For €3.50 (someday’s it is free) you really can’t beat the amount of history for the price.

Really enjoyed this National Museum - the building itself is wonderful but from the outside it just looks like a posh bus station 😀 - inside it’s really stunning and shows the artefacts really well over 3 floors. The mosaics are very impressive. If you go after 2pm on a Saturday and in Sunday morning it’s free Please ‘like’ if you like 😀

One of the best venues I have seen Amazing collection and so well presented. Two thousand years ago....

Beautifully designed building paying tribute to the Roman Brick. The collection is housed in a grand Hall of soaring of arches. The highlights are the mosaics recovered from houses excavated in the surrounds of the Roman town of Augusta Eremita. These are vast in size. There are also originals of statuary from the nearby theatre. I often wonder how much more we would have of Roman art if the early Christians had not vandalised so many statues. Most of these are either headless. Or have had their noses carefully hammered.

This has to be a must see on your list of attractions in Merida. Right next to the Amphitheatre and Theatre site it is the most incredible collection of artefacts from around Merida. But the standout exhibits by far are the enormous collection of the largest mosaics I have ever seen …. They are all stunning and must be seen to be believed. And the museum is free…it’s too good to be true!

Wonderful Roman ruins with a lot fewer turists than the more known ones. Really well preserved and restored, you can go right into the theater. They still host shows there in the summer. Bathroom facilities and a gift shop.

Very interesting temple in the centre of town. Make sure to take pictures of the upper entry level before going into the temple. If you go in and don't want to pay for the entry, the little man won't even let you take pictures outside.

Beautiful Temple! If you can go at sunset or right after dark it's the best.

Beautiful area, visit it for free during a stroll through town. No parking possibilities. Maybe one of the best places to feel the changes through the centuries. Roman, Gothen, Christians, Moslems... traces everywhere!

Situated right in the city centre. A lovely roman temple. The inside wasn't worth seeing in my opinion The outside is really beaitiful.

Outside better than inside. Small place too much people. 20 minutes in the line waiting to get in

The temple on the outside is great to see, the visit inside is maybe not needed, if you visit other sites, where you already get an explanationabout the temple of diana itself

An interesting place to see. You don't have to buy a ticket to see it. The ticket allows you to enter the palace built behind and learn more about the use of the temple.

Beautiful and well preserved Roman site.

Majestic place, give you a calm and good feeling vibes. The restaurants around the Temple of Diana offers different variety and sumptuous food. The services are quite outstanding. They're are many events held here during the night. The ice cream parlor next to it offers different flavours and also one of my favourite, "limonada". You should definitely try it. It's a good place to walk with your family, kids, friends and of course your dogs.

Located in a square in town it dominates the surrounding houses. Pretty impressive to see. We went in the evening and it was suppose to be lit up but sadly wasn't so went again the next day. Worth seeing as similar Roman temples of Diana aren't as intact as this one.

Beautiful temple in the middle of town. There's an exhibit inside and access to the balcony but the highlight is the view from outside which is free.

Amazing free concert celebrating flamenco music. Beautiful.

Right next to the city centre. A beautiful romsn bridge with a lovely view of the river. Has access to the neatby park which takes you a world away from the hustle and bustle of the city. A perfect place to go for a walk . Well worth the visit

(Translated by Google) Next to the aqueduct of miracles, very well preserved. (Original) Junto al acueducto de los milagros, muy bien conservado.

(Translated by Google) Although it is much smaller than the great Roman bridge in Merida, this little brother is no less beautiful and interesting. In addition to being in good condition, you can visit the aqueduct which is very close. (Original) Aunque es mucho más pequeño que el gran puente romano de Merida, este hermano pequeño no deja de ser menos bonito e interesante. Además de encontrarse en buen estado se puede visitar el acueducto que está muy próximo.

(Translated by Google) If it is true that it is a Roman bridge, it leaves a lot to be desired. It is small and they have it paved. My recommendation is to see it from the outside, right where the little park is next to the aqueduct. We went up to see it and it was a disappointment. (Original) Si es cierto que es un puente Romano, deja bastante que desear. Es pequeño y lo tienen asfaltado. Mi recomendación es verlo desde fuera, justo donde está el parquecito junto al acueducto. Nosotros subimos a verlo arriba y fue un desengaño.

(Translated by Google) It is a small but beautiful Roman bridge, it measures about 145 meters, and vehicles are not allowed. It is quite well preserved and its visit is highly recommended, which is done automatically when visiting the Aqueduct of Miracles. (Original) Es un puente romano pequeño pero precioso, mide unos 145 metros, no se permite la circulación de vehículos. Esta bastante bien conservado y es altamente recomendable su visita, que se hace de forma automática al visitar el Acueducto de los Milagros.

(Translated by Google) Another beautiful corner of Mérida, when you access it you are already overwhelmed by the views of the Aqueduct of the Milagros, it is very well preserved, it is not very big but there are no cars circulating, you can walk quietly and enjoy the views. (Original) Otro rincón precioso de Mérida, cuándo accedes a él ya te impomen las vistas al Acueducto de los Milagros, está muy bien conservado, no es muy grande pero no circulan coches, puedes pasear tranquilamente y disfrutar de las vistas.

(Translated by Google) The Roman Bridge over the Albarregas River was built so that the Vía de la Plata and the Camino de Lisboa could ensure their passage across the river. As a curious feature, it is not perpendicular to the river, as one would expect. The fertile plains of the Albarregas River have been used as orchards from the Roman foundation until the nineties of the last century. Proof of this are the mills that have been found in the excavations and one of them can be seen as soon as you reach the feet of the aqueduct. More in NOT ONLY HIKING (gabifem.es) (Original) El Puente Romano sobre el Río Albarregas, fue construido para que la Vía de la Plata y el Camino de Lisboa asegurasen su paso del río. Como característica curiosa decir que no es perpendicular al río, como cabría esperar. Las fértiles vegas del río Albarregas se han aprovechado como huertas desde la fundación romana hasta la década de los noventa del pasado siglo, prueba de ello son los molinos que se han encontrado en las excavaciones y uno de ellas se puede ver nada más llegar a los pies del acueducto. Más en NO SOLO SENDERISMO (gabifem.es)

(Translated by Google) Very well preserved, it is incredible how in the past, without the means we have now, they made these incredible works, which are still maintained. (Original) Muy bien conservado, es increíble como antiguamente sin los medios que tenemos ahora, hacían estas increíbles obras, que todavía se mantienen.

Excellent! Big fort. Very interesting. Recommend

Nice place to visit. There is a garden, You have a great view over Badajoz and the outside area.

Worth to take a climb, look to the city and countryside from above. Admire ancient defensive infrastructure. Beautiful

Beatiful place. Unfortunately, it was under construction and it was not possible to visit much of it. and for some reason all the historic buildings in the city were closed for repairs or cleaning the week after Easter.

Nice historic castle, but not particularly spectacular in any way. Definitely worth a visit if you're nearby.

Decently preserved Moorish castle with various display placards describing its history and what looked to be a reconstructed Roman fort at the center repurposed as a library but the description said it was a church or temple.. Takes about 45 min. to visit. It was free to visit.

loved it, especially my two year old. He loved every minute of the walk around the castle walls

We visited briefly at night for dinner. The square was beautiful lit up with holiday lights.

It's a really magnificent structure and well preserved.

It is a bit run down, and there is not much to see inside. The views are ok from there, but the best views of the city are actualy from outside, on the riverside looking towards this fortress

amazing experience, spent the whole day walking around the walls.

Must see place in Badajoz. Big, interesting fortress, from it is possible to see big part of the city, and river as well. We liked this fortress very much, there are tables with texts both in Spanish and English.

Beautiful Roman aqueduct to walk along and enjoy. The area around it is serene with many people hanging out on the lawn, reading or catching up with friends.

Stunning structure. Look out for it entering Mérida by train from Cáceres. Then go and walk around it

An absolutely wonderful roman masterpiece. Set in a wide park .just beautiful. Right next to a roman bridge. Worth seeing

Amazing landmark. Very well preserved and publicly accesible. Beautiful spot for the family picnic.

Built to impress and it still does. Worth the stroll to/within a pleasant park, to view. Quiet at times, but plenty of people about, some tourists, some locals. Worth reading the assorted descriptions dotted around.

This is an amazing aqueduct on the outskirts of Merida. Absolutely stunning and beautiful. It is huge and has storks nesting on top. There is also an abundance of wildlife in the stream that runs underneath such as Ibis and Stilts. Really a cool experience walking under this massive aqueduct dating to Roman times. Don’t miss!

Great place to stop on a road trip and relax. Beautiful park nice to walk around in. Beautiful Roman Aqueduct.

Beautiful and impressive aqueduct on nice park. Free entry.

It is an impressive aqueduct, very high. The top part where the water was flowing is missing. There are storks nesting on the pillars which is nice to watch. It is in a nice park. One can spend a couple of hours there, have a nice family picnic and play ball. Excellent location also with kids. Nothing dangerous around. They can run around freely. No entrance fee. If you want to go for a hike, then you can continue along the river and easily walk for an hour.

This is wonderful! All set within a park and it's free!! Great backdrop for a romantic picnic, the majestic towering aqueduct makes you feel like you are in ancient Rome. Helpful? Click 'like'

It was great to see in person that which I had only seen in movies and pictures. The interpretive panels were not plentiful but had information about the races I didn't know and gave me more insight into Roman culture.

It's very hard to photograph this place and do it justice. It's very much in ruins so maybe not as visually impressive as some of the other sites in Mérida, but what makes it worth it is the sheer scale of it. You really need to walk around it to appreciate it I think.

Rare piece of well preserved hippodrome.

Very unique cultural resource. We all enjoyed it.

Absolutely amazing! Photos don't do it justice. The size of it needs to been seen in person.

A big field with ruined terraces. I was 2 millenia late for the chariot races. It was a hot walk to get there too!

This is much better than Circus Maximus in Rome. Still has the walls preserves so you can really get the idea of the real size of it... Which is HUGE!

A huge impressive site. But not of massive interest to ordinary visitors I would have thought. Perhaps if you are a scholar of ancient history, you would find this site fascinating.

A bit farther away than the other tourist spots in Merida but worth the walk

Wonderfully conservation of a roman circus where you can imagen and relive roman times.

An easy walk from the other Roman ruins. Plenty of information boards outlining the history. A small exhibition centre with photos and a model of how it would have looked. Also a short film but only in Spanish.

Fairly unremarkable but makes sense because it was a barley field and then a road

Terrific !! Loved the capability to see and experience the sheer scale that the Romans created. One of our favourite places in Western Spain.

The scale of the site is quite impressive although there is a lot left to the imagination. The lady at the ticket / information desk was very helpful although her English was very limited. Unusually for a UNESCO world heritage site, there was no English description for any of the small selection of displayed items.

It was great to see in person that which I had only seen in movies and pictures. The interpretive panels were not plentiful but had information about the races I didn't know and gave me more insight into Roman culture.

Really cool, but not as much to see as at other sites and out of the way from most main tourist attractions. Would be cool if they did modern chariot racing... they built a highway through it previously and then tore down the road and restored the hippodrome.

Beautiful historic church that only costs two extra euros on top of the crypt ticket. Very ancient and interesting.

Très beau et ne pas oublier les vestiges en dessous la basilique ( fouilles archéologiques) (Translated by Google) Very beautiful and don't forget the remains below the basilica (archaeological excavations)

The remains of Roman and Christian burial places beneath the Basilica of Sta Eulalia. There are some brightly painted frescoes in one of the tombs. It costs another 2 euros if you want to enter the church, which is a touch cheeky.

À ne pas manquer la visite de Mérida. Vieillie ville romaine. Il est regrettable que pour la visiter il faut payer 16€00 par personne. La culture était destinée aux riches, maintenant on veut aussi leur offrir l’exclusivité de l’histoire. POUR QUAND UNE REV OL UTIO N ??? du peuple, bien sûr, et non de politiques que refont pareil à ceux qu’ils ont expulsé !!! (Translated by Google) Not to be missed is a visit to Mérida. Old Roman town. It is regrettable that to visit it you have to pay 16€00 per person. Culture was intended for the rich, now we also want to offer them the exclusivity of history. WHEN WILL A REV OL UTIO N??? of the people, of course, and not of politicians who do the same thing to those they expelled!!!

Church is quite unique as it is built Roman necropolis and this necropolis under the church can be visited.

I had several hours to spend in Merida so I wanted to look around the Basilica. I know basic Spanish, but I had no choice but to pay €6 euros to look around the crypt - this was just boring for me, all descriptions were in Spanish. At the end there was an attendant and I had to pay an extra €2 euros to see the Basilica, which was quite good (I can see some of the crypt from there anyway..,). It is a scam that they do not allow visitors the option of what they want to see!

If you have the combined ticket it is not bad to visit. Some ruins under the church with some new facts for me. In case you have few time in Mérida prefer to visit another place. The church itself I don't know how it is.

The Basilica is complementery, but costs 2 Euros per person, so I am not sure what free plus an entrance fee means. An oxymoron. Inside is the church. No big deal. A church. We've seen a lot of churches. For free too. Pretty much all the same. We should have passed on this one.

Estupendo, a wonderful church and were able to see the crypt below. Not just a historical monument but a living thriving part of the culture and community

The cript is 6€, the basilica is 2€. All together not much to see.

Wonderful imposing structure but has lost all of it adornments and barely resembles a Roman arch. Worth a walk by if you are in the area.

Great historical landmark

It’s worth seeing. It was much a once larger arch like the Arch de Triomph in Paris, but most of it has been stripped away. Go into the restaurant on the right - the arch is built right into it. Very cool.

I’m so glad McDonald has not sponsored it and painted it yellow. There is still hope for civil society.

Very nice! Roman arch.

I love seeing Roman sites so for me all are 5 stars, and Mérida has lots of places very well preserved.

Remnants of the Roman arch. Should be on your walking route

Historic, impressive, and a great jazz bar on the corner

Interesting as far as they have been able to excavate. If you are a Roman enthusiast then worth a visit, you may find there is more here than in the forum of Augusta in Rome. Not essential viewing but interesting if you have seen the remains of other forums elsewhere in the Mediterranean.

Awesome historical place

Passed these on the way to the Temple of Diana, nicely preserved and a beautiful piece of history but, compared to the rest to be seen in Merida, they kind of fall short.

4ty century ruins. Worth walking by

(Translated by Google) What remains are the remains of the 1st century of the corner of a portico part of the old Municipal Forum of Augusta Emerita. Above the three columns in the foreground that form the corner with a fourth, there is a frieze with two medallions with the faces of Medusa and Jupiter and a figure among them whose head is missing. On the back wall there are niches with sculptures of members of the imperial family. This visit is free and outdoors. It is worth seeing while in Mérida although what remains standing is quite little. (Original) Lo que quedan son los restos del Siglo I de la esquina de un pórtico parte del antiguo Foro Municipal de Augusta Emerita.Sobre las tres columnas en primer plano que forman esquina con una cuarta, hay un friso con dos medallones con las caras de Medusa y Júpiter y una figura entre ellas a la que le falta la cabeza. En el muro de fondo hay hornacinas con esculturas de miembros de la familia imperial Esta visita es gratuita y al aire libre. Merece la pena verlo estando en Mérida aunque lo que queda en pie es bastante poco

(Translated by Google) Other places that you find while touring the city, in this case this 1st century portico, which gave entrance to the Municipal Forum, with Corinthian columns and historical sculptures. One of the places to visit and photograph. (Original) Otros de los lugares que te encuentras recorriendo la ciudad, en este caso este pórtico del siglo I, que daba entrada al Foro Municipal, con columnas corintias y esculturas históricas. Uno de los lugares que hay que visitar y fotografiar.

(Translated by Google) The remains of the portico of the Roman forum. It is a small thing, but it is very beautiful and gives an idea of ​​what it must have been like in its time. (Original) Los restos del pórtico del foro romano. Es poca cosa, pero es muy hermoso y da una idea de cómo debió haber sido en su tiempo.

(Translated by Google) It has no cost. It is a monument that you come across while walking through the streets of Merida and it is very cool. It impresses you when you see it next to the street you are passing. (Original) No tiene coste alguno. Es un monumento que te topas mientras paseas por las calles de merida y esta muy chulo. Te impresiona al verlo junto a la calle ppr la que ests pasando

Nice square, specially at night! Good restaurants there!

Spain Square

Pretty

beautiful!!!

(Translated by Google) Market square in the old part of the city. Full of pubs, shops and restaurants with various cuisines. Everyone will find something for himself (Original) Rynek w starej części miasta. Pełen knajpek, sklepików i restauracji z przeróżną kuchnią. Każdy znajdzie coś dla siebie

(Translated by Google) It can be considered the central square of the city and is worth visiting as it is surrounded by unique buildings: Santa María Co-Cathedral, the Mendoza Palace, the Pacheco House, the Emeritense Circle, the Town Hall and the China Palace. In the center of the rectangular square, there is a marble fountain and in the corners there are bars/kiosks where you can have a drink, at a high price, while enjoying yourself on the pleasant terrace. The Christmas tree is placed precisely surrounding this fountain. This square is also of historical interest, since since the time of the Catholic Monarchs it has housed markets, theaters, it has served as an arena for bullfights, a place for public executions, and processions. In this square the people received the kings on their visits to the city and, also here, loyalty was proclaimed to the new king when he acceded to the throne. (Original) Puede considerarse como la plaza central de la ciudad y merece la pena acercarse al estar rodeada de edificios singulares: concatedral de Santa María, el palacio de los Mendoza, la casa de los Pacheco, el círculo Emeritense, el ayuntamiento y el palacio la China. En el centro de la plaza rectangular, hay una fuente de mármol y en las esquinas hay bares/kiosko donde tomarse algo, a un precio elevado, mientras se disfruta en la agradable terraza. El árbol de navidad se pon precisamente rodeando esta fuente. Esta plaza también es de interés histórico, pues desde la época de los Reyes Católicos ha albergado mercados, teatros, ha servido de ruedo para corridas de toro, lujar de ejecuciones públicas, procesiones. En esta plaza recibía el pueblo a los reyes en sus visitas a la ciudad y, también aquí, se proclamaba fidelidad al nuevo rey cuando accedía al trono.

(Translated by Google) Merida, a city in Extremadura, is a place where you will find a lot of history and remains of the Romans... Moors... Castile. We also thought it was a pleasant walking city......all tourist places can be reached on foot in the old town. We saw a stork nest with an occupant which was particularly nice. We enjoyed spending two days in Merida and it is highly recommended. Be careful because it gets very hot in the summer. (Original) Merida een stad in Extremadura is een plaats waar je ontzettend veel historie en overblijfselen vindt van de romeinen....mooren.....castilie koningrijk terug vindt. Wij vonden het ook een gezellige wandel stad......alle toeristische plaatsen kun je te voet bereiken in de oude binnenstad. Wij zagen een ooievaar nest met bewoner wat bijzonder leuk was. Wij vonden het leuk om twee dagen door te brengen in Merida en het is een echte aanrader. Let wel op want in de zomer wordt het wel ontzettend warm.

Very impressive engineering - sure our dams won't last this long! The information in the site has improved a lot since my last visit 15 years ago. Now they has set panels on-site with information regarding the mechanics and history of the dam.

An oasis among the barren Extramaduran countryside

(Translated by Google) A unique historical monument that supplies Merida with water today, just as it did 2000 years ago. The water is still absolutely clear and pure.

Beautiful bridge

(Translated by Google) The Lusitania Bridge is a large bridge that a Mérida over the Guadiana River, you can walk through it has several lanes for vehicles, and a pedestrian zone for people. It is worth walking through it. At night it is spectacular!! (Original) El Puente Lusitania es un gran puente que un Mérida por encima del Río Guadiana, podrás pasear por él tiene varios carriles para los vehículos, y una zona peatonal para las personas. Merece la pena pasear por él. ¡¡De noche es espectacular !!

A passagem é agradável, tem uma vista bonita e o caminho é limpo. Contudo, todos os bancos estão colocados ao sol o que no verão se torna completamente inútil a qualquer hora do dia.

This is just a bridge. You can drive over it or walk up the middle. You can get a good view of the 2000 year old Roman bridge from it. Also able to see the river and bird life close up.

(Translated by Google) Modern bridge that crosses the Guadiana River, it serves both for pedestrian crossing and for road traffic. Its inauguration was in 1991 and it was designed by architect Santiago Calatrava. If you come to Mérida it is worth crossing the river over this bridge and taking the walk to the old Roman bridge that is right in front. The old and the new. (Original) Puente moderno que cruza el río Guadiana, sirve tanto para el paso de peatones como para el tráfico rodado.

(Translated by Google) Very beautiful bridge that welcomes those arriving by bus to the city of Mérida. There is pedestrian access, as well as access for bicycles, scooters and the like.

(Translated by Google) Wonderful work of engineering that makes an interesting contrast with the Roman bridge. Of course, the Roman bridge has been there for more than a thousand years... it is very unlikely that it lasts that long. Of course, aesthetically it is impressive. It is advisable to cross both bridges on foot to fully enjoy them. (Original) Maravillosa obra de ingeniería que hace un contraste interesante con el puente romano. Eso sí, el puente romano lleva ahí más de mil años....dido mucho que éste dure tanto. Eso sí, estéticamente es impresionante. Es aconsejable cruzar ambos puentes a pie para disfrutarlos del todo.

Small, free, an impressive collection of Visigoth history. Might not appeal to everyone. Given the niche subject matter, it deserves five stars for how much it offers.

(Translated by Google) A large collection houses this Museum. 100% recommended visit (Original) Una gran colección alberga este Museo. Visita recomendable 100%

Interesting little Visigothic museum. < 30mins and you’ll be done. Free when I visited Oct 2018. Attached the opening hours for you consideration.

I don't know of another visagoth muse. Nice

(Translated by Google) Museum focused on Visigoth art, which is complementary to the National Museum of Roman Art. In its rooms a large amount of Visigoth remains are exhibited, the most important in the country. Worth. (Original) Museo centrado en el arte visigodo, que es complementario del Museo Nacional de Arte Romano. En sus salas se exhibe una gran cantidad de restos visigodos, la más importante del país. Merece la pena.

(Translated by Google) Interesting to see part of the city's Visigothic past. We miss a more complete transcription of the inscriptions and more information.

(Original) Intersante ver la parte del pasado visigótico de la ciudad. De eche en falta una transcripción mas completa de las inscripciones y mas información.
