Ancient Roman Theatre in Malaga
I was really surprised when I found out that there is an ancient Roman theatre in Malaga. The theatre is located on the Alcazaba Hill so if you are planning to visit the Alcazaba, you will definitely see the theatre too:)
The theatre was discovered in 1951 and consists of 3 parts: the stands, the orchestra pit and the stage. Entrance is free and it’s open everyday except on Monday!
The best view of the theatre is not on the stands or in the theatre but rather standing directly opposite of the theatre and having a full view of it, makes for great pictures too:)

This is the Teatro Romano de Málaga~
Malaga's Roman theatre which remained hidden underground for many centuries.
It lies at the foot of the Alcazaba fortress in the western part of the city. It was discovered in 1951, after having remained buried underground for many centuries. Dating back to the first century, it was built during the Empire of Augustus and was used up until the third century. The Arabs used parts of the theatre for their own building purposes. They took capitals and column shafts for their own Alcazaba fortress as support for the horseshoe arches over the doorways. The theatre has a radius of 31 metres is 16 metres tall and has an orchestra of 15 metres. The area has three main stands and gateways that lead into the stands.
You can go in or you can stay outside and view the teatro💕
