Mérida - Provincial Roman Capital, Spain (126/418)

The colony of Augusta Emerita, which became present-day Mérida in the Estremadura, was founded in 25 B.C., at the end of the Spanish Campaign, and was the capital of Lusitania. The remains of the old city, complete and well-preserved, include, in particular, a large bridge over the Guadiana, an amphitheatre, a theatre, a vast circus and an exceptional water supply system. It is an excellent example of a provincial Roman capital during the Empire and in the years following.
