Merida

April 4, 2008 API took us on our last excursion to the providence Extremadura, Northwest of Andalusia.
Merida was the first city we toured. This city was originally settled by the Romans when they conquered Spain (it took the Romans 200 years). Above are the Ruins of the Teatro (theatre) in Merida.

This Teatro is still being used today, twice a year they preform plays here the acoustics are still amazing.

This is the amphitheatre, where the city of Merida held their games (Gladiators).

It is under construction the weather has taken it's toll.
