Really interesting visit, got the local bus from Seville bus station for 1.65 Euros which takes around 20-25 mins. You can pay on the bus and at the information desk they tell you which number it leaves from downstairs. It is a much bigger area than I imagined and probably took us around 2 hours to walk around, there is lots to see We paid 1.5 euro entrance fee it was well worth it.

We got a taxi here which cost €18 from the centre of Seville. For some reason we didn’t have to pay, not sure why but I’ll take it. The site itself was great, bigger than I realised it would be. Some well preserved mosaics and lots of interesting facts. Well worth a visit.

Enjoyable visit. We spent time strolling around various parts of the amphitheatre and then on to the town. Enjoyed the mosaics and, curiously, found sections of the sewers fascinating. Both sites have modern repairs and supports so ensuring as much of the historical parts remain standing and accessible, although I felt this had been overdone in places (I am no expert, though). We took an Uber from the centre of Seville, which was very convenient and cost around €18 each way. There is also a bus which is considerably cheaper but takes longer. One point to note is that if you are from a none EU country, entrance is €1.50 and they only accept cash. Well worth a visit and was much more enjoyable than visiting churches and cathedrals.

This completely exceeded our expectations. It’s a very well-preserved, ancient Roman city founded in 206 B.C. (the first Roman city in Spain). The village had aquaducts, temples, thermal baths and houses with beautiful mosaic floors that are still in astoundingly impressive condition. The site is about 52 hectares in total, but a large part (the oldest part) is still unexcavated because it’s under the village of Santiponce. Drone footage would be amazing, but they don’t allow drones. If you have a valid European passport, admission is free. Try to grab a map so you get the most out of your visit.

With the arrival of the Romans in Spain around 206 BCE, Scipio built this settlement for his warriors. It is a marvellous legacy for the area, and the world. It was atmospheric walking the streets of the Old City seeing the impressive remnants of what was the first Roman settlement in Spain. A remarkably preserved amphitheatre is considered one of the best outside of Italy itself that has its Coliseum. As with so many marvellous extant monuments in the Empire, it was constructed during Hadrian’s tenure. With a capacity of around 25,000 it far exceeded the actual population of the adjacent city that is thought to number only about 8,000 reflecting the influence of the city beyond its immediate surrounds.

Well worth a visit. Easy 30 minute bus trip from Plaza De Armas bus station (1.65€ each, bus 170A/B, just pay driver). Italica entry fee only 1.5€. Amazing ancient town, amphitheatre and lake. Good info in English. Good map from ticket office. Stunning mosaics. Easy to spend 2 to 3 hours here.

For only 1.5 euros to get in, it can’t be faulted. A big spread out site, you need to be quite fit to see it all. Not the smartest of places, but the signage had English translations, which was good. I’m amazed that the mosaics are just left open to the elements. After we’d seen Italica we walked into Santiponce and say the Roman amphitheatre (which was closed, but you got the idea from a viewing platform). We took the M 170 Damas city bus from Seville bus station, costing 1.65 euros each way, it runs about every half hour. There’s no need to go on a tour and pay £30-£40.

Wonderful historical site. Surprised more is not made of it. We spent a full 2 hours wandering around the amphitheater and the town you really get the taste for how it all used to be. Best of all not crowded like the other better known attractions. 1/2 hour bus ride out from Seville on number 170 bus for 1.65 euro each way and 1.50 euro entrance fee, free if a EU citizen. (Another Brexit dividend) Absolute bargain.

The amphitheatre is amazing ... dragon pit from Game of Thrones filmed here. The mosaics from old Roman ruins are also quite stunning . However the house ruins are rebricked foundations giving you an idea of what it looked like 1600 years ago and not really original. Still worth the trip for the amphitheatre alone. Bring a bottle of water and a cap . Not many shady spots .
