Prom trip: Merida
This year with the school we went one week before
Easter to a trip in which we visited different Spanish and Portuguese cities.
Merida is one of the cities we visited. Located in
Badajoz, it is very famous for the ancient roman ruins that have been found on it,
this is because it was an important roman city named Augusta.
Augusta Emerita was founded in 25 a.c. for the
veterans soldiers of V Alaudae and X Gemina by Octavio Augusto. It became one
of the most important cities of Hispania as it had lots of commodities and it
was the capital of Lusitania.
Merida’s theater and amphitheater are the most famous
monuments of the city. We had the chance to visit these spectacular ruins and learn
about them. What makes them very special is that they are almost perfectly conserved although lot of people and years have passed over them.
