We should have called and missed out on this extraordinary site. We will definitely return to visit it next time we travel Spain. It look beaufiul from the perimeter. We did walk the town of Italica and it was delightful to visit by foot. More

the third largest city in the Roman empire, birthplace of Hadrian, just a few kilometers from the city of Sevilla. Unbelievable mosaics, town layout and the most astonishing amphitheater. My 8 year old couldn't get enough of it - nor could we. More

Much of Italica is underneath the city of Santiponce so you do not get a true sense of the scale the Roman city that predated Sevilla, but the amphitheater alone makes the bus ride out worthwhile (assuming you don't live in Rome.) The mosaics in the other ruins are worth seeing, but you don't need to look at every single... More

The bus to take... More

Took the 172 bus from the Plaza Las Armas in Sevilla and it cost E2.40 or about $3.00. The trip was about 20 minutes and it ended in a beautiful village of Santiponce. The Italica ruins represent the first Roman settlement in Spain and it is in the Andalucia region. It is well worth the trip to see what is... More

Italica is a Roman town, a few miles outside Seville. While the site itself is very large, much of it has yet to be excavated, and a good deal of the original town lies under the modern settlement. In that sense, it is by no means as impressive as, for example, Ostia Antica outside Rome. The chief draw is the... More

we came from sevilla on the local bus which stops outside the site. fabulous mossaics, the ampitheatre is in reasonable condition and obviously had been a large place. lots of buildings mainly foundations and floors still visable. nice cafe and taverna outside the site where we had a good lunch and wine More
