Tour description
Have you not yet visited Mérida? Join our free tour and follow the traces of the past that turned this important city into the capital of Extremadura. Can you imagine the great splendour experienced by Augusta Emerita, the capital of Roman Lusitania? Centuries and centuries of events await to be revealed through impressive temples and stone monuments that tell stories from ancient times. Did you know that Mérida was the origin of the famous Vía de la Plata, which connected western Hispania from south to north? Thanks to the valuable remains that we can still appreciate today, the city's archaeological complex was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
We invite you to visit Mérida, the heart of Extremadura. In the centre of the region and on the banks of two waterways (the Guadiana River and the Albarregas Stream), this ancient city has witnessed important events over the centuries and has enjoyed periods of great wealth.
