Caesaraugusta Theatre Museum
Museo del Teatro de Caesaraugusta
The ruins of a 1st-century Roman theatre that could seat about 6,000 spectators. It is the most spectacular of the four museums on the Caesaraugusta Route.
Augustus founded Zaragoza as the Roman city of Caesaraugusta. The theatre ruins were not discovered until construction work in 1972. Today they sit beneath a large transparent canopy, and walkways look down over the semicircular seating and stage foundations. An exhibition hall uses models and projections to recreate the performances of the day. Admission is about 4 euros. A combined ticket also covers the Forum Museum, the Baths Museum and the River Port Museum on the same route, so you can visit them all at once. Closed on Mondays.
Opening hours
Tuesday-Saturday 10:00-14:00, 17:00-21:00; Sunday 10:00-14:30
