So the place is very well preserved, it’s easy to walk around and there’re plenty of signs around to explain the history of the place. The information is easy to read and digest and I appreciated the drawings showcasing the different types of gladiators and how the building looked like in the past. What we didn’t like is that in October they already have the winter time table which means they close at 6PM so we ended up missing it in the afternoon and needed to come back in the morning. We’ve visited on the 9th of October when it was 35 degrees so it feels like closing at 6PM is way too early. We’ve met other tourists that also wanted to enter but couldn’t. Also the cashier lady was quite rude to us and she had a tense tone when talking to us. Maybe she shouldn’t be in a customer facing role if she doesn’t enjoy talking to people?

These (the theater and the adjacent arena) are quite possibly the biggest Roman buildings outside Rom - very impressive. There is an entrance fee of 12 euros. You can also buy a ticket for all Roman sites in Merida. I am not sure it is worthwhile buying the more expensive ticket for all sites. These are the most impressive ones. The temple of Diana in town is free and some of the other are more like excavations you walk through. You need about an hour and the site closes at 6pm. There is a souvenir shop at the entrance. If you cannot make it to Rom and you are in the area, then this is the place to visit

Possibly the most wonderful historical site I have ever visited. It is not difficult to understand why it is a World Heritage Site. Every visitor's thanks should go out to the archaeologists who discovered the remains and all those who have followed, continuing their work and looking after these priceless remains. I cannot recommend the Teatro Romano de Merida highly enough. Five stars is not a worthy appraisal, ten would be much more fitting. An essential when in Merida. Now I must find a book, written in English, which goes more deeply into this fantastic site.

Absolutely stunning. Discovered in the late 1800s and mostly buried where it had fallen in the preceding centuries, it has been reassembled into the remarkable amphitheatre you see can here. Not only has the theatre been restored but also the area where the gladiators fought, and sanding down in the 'bear pit' it's easy to feel intimidated by the walls so high around you. Just imagine thousands of onlookers cheering (or jeering) around you. And who knew there were so many different types of gladiator?! All is explained as you explore.
