Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The amphitheatre was built in the year 8 BC. It was intended for gladiatorial fights and combats between men and beasts. The stands had capacity of roughly 15 thousand spectators. The main arena is 64x44 metres. It forms a complex with Teatro Romano, but is as impressive as the theatre itself.

I had already been to Emerita Augusta, now Mérida. It was founded in 25 BC. Many years ago. I didn't remember very well what the city is like and its monuments are incredible. The amphitheater still fulfills its purpose and has a Classical Theater Festival in the summer months. It must be wonderful. The funny thing is that there we still feel like we are in the past. We looked on without wanting to leave soon. It's not seeing, it's feeling. The price is €16 for almost all the city's monuments. One tip, don't go to Mérida for 1 day. Try to enjoy the place

Built in the 8th century BC. As the inscriptions found on its stands attest, the Amphitheater served as a stage for very popular shows. Gladiator games, wild beast hunts, fights between animals, etc. About 15,000 spectators could fit here.
We get in for free by dressing as Romans at the Emerita Lúdica festivities. Visiting the Amphitheater and Theater characterized by the period is fascinating.

Merida was founded by the Romans as Emerita Augusta, the capitol of the province of Lusitania, and in that capacity it boasted terrific facilities endemic to any large Roman city. The amphitheater is one of the best preserved. It's a terrific site.

Impressive, as most of the main monuments in Mérida. I actually recommend the combined ticket to visit them all. Maybe the only advice would be to avoid the hot days in the summer. But, on the other hand, you have less people around those days (which is better during the COVID-19 era).

This is misleading as the photos at the top are for the adjacent performance art theatre.
This is where people got butchered!
Quite good condition with all access ways intact. Good signage and generally much quieter than the bit next door. They reckon 15k persons seated when it was intact.
This is included with the "all sites" Roman Ticket.

All part of the larger display, all of which is magnificent. The sheer size and complexity of the site is overwhelming. A must see on any visit to Spain

You would not expect a relatively small city, such as Merida is now, to hold such intesting remains. The Amphitheatre is quite a sight though I don't know how much it was restored. Well worth a visit

Nice place to visit some well preserved Roman ruins. its pretty spectacular. There's a good reason why Merida is known as "Little Rome" . We were here on a really hot day though. and be warned, its hard to find parkin.

Sacamos la entrada combinada: Alcazaba, teatro, anfiteatro, casa de Mitreo y columbarios, circo y las morerías, por 15 €, si no recuerdo mal.

No se estará confundiendo con el circo romano?
Written 25 January 2016
Tampoco hay que confundirlos con el Anfiteatro romano, alejado de estos monumentos y que ofrece pocos atractivos, solo la gran pista donde uno puede imaginar carreras de cuadrigas etc... Imaginar, porque ver....muy poco!
