At the foot of the imposing Alcazaba in Malaga, stands the Roman theater, a historical treasure that testifies to the city’s rich history. Built during the reign of Emperor Augustus in the first century BC, this theater is one of the oldest surviving monuments in Malaga. After being covered up for centuries, it was only rediscovered in the 1950s during urban renewal work. The theater has stood the test of time remarkably well and offers a fascinating insight into the cultural and social dynamics of ancient Roman Malaga. Visitors can view the remains of the semicircular stands where spectators once gathered to attend theatrical performances. Next to the theater is a modern interpretation center, an addition that enriches the historical experience. This center uses the latest technologies to take visitors on an interactive journey through the past. Here one can dive deeper into the daily life and customs of Roman times, complete with multimedia displays that bring the past to life. The combination of the well-preserved theater and the state-of-the-art interpretation center makes this a not-to-be-missed destination for history buffs and curious travelers alike, who get a unique insight into Malaga’s ancient Roman heritage.
