I love Roman ruin cities, so will have to visit Merida the next time we’re in Spain! Sounds perfect to wander around and admire the buildings.

I hadn’t heard of Merida before! I’d love to visit the area as it’s a part of Spain that I haven’t spent much time in before. This is a super post with so many great suggestions!

This looks so beautiful and wouldn’t have guessed this is Spain. I’d love to visit the Roman Theater.

Merida sure has some amazing ruins and architecture! I especially love the ampitheatre. You can almost imagine what life was life back 2,000 years ago.

Wow! It’s hard to believe that this is in Spain and not Italy. I’ve been travelling around Andalucía and have seen a lot of Roman ruins, but never so many in one place! This is for sure going on my bucket list for Spain.

What fascinating sights! It blows my mind how these places are! I love visiting places with so much history! It’s so interesting to learn about them when you visit. Merida looks like a wonderful place, I hope I get an opportunity to visit! Thanks for the great guide!

This is so funny – I’ve actually been to Merida on a business trip. Hence, while the others were able to visit the Roman ruins, I had to run around like an idiot, looking for gifts for our business partners. Still, I have great memories of Merida – it was so different from the coastal places in Spain.

I will have to add Merida to our plans for the next time we are in Spain. I am always amazed at the places where you find Roman ruins. I can imagine the shows that might have been put on in the amphitheatre. So great that they excavated it. The Civil Engineer in me is always amazed when we find aqueducts. And so cool that the Roman Bridge is the longes surviving Roman bridge in the world. Definitely lots to explore!

What an amazing place! We love old ruins and architecture so this would be such a treat to discover. I could spend days just shooting pictures of everything. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
