Cartagena Roman Theatre Museum Ticket
With this ticket, you'll be immersed in Carthago Nova's Roman past while you observe the archaeological pieces found in and around the Roman Theatre of Cartagena.
The museum is composed of different ancient buildings incorporated into the structure, such as the Riquelme Palace or the church of Santa Maria, from the medieval period. The visit starts in the old Pascual Riquelme Palace, where you'll learn about the history of the discovery and excavation of the theater through an underground corridor. From here, you can access a room that displays the most emblematic objects found during the excavations, such as jewellery, statues or vessels and pieces of great artistic value like the three aras dedicated to the Capitoline Triad.
Then you'll arrive at the tunnel that passes under the medieval church and you'll find the perfect end to your visit: the Roman Theatre of Cartagena, one of the biggest in Spain. You'll be able to see the remains of its stage front, the orchestra, reserved for patricians and rulers, and the cavea, where the citizens of Cathago Nova sat, arranged according to social class.
This theatre had a capacity for 7000 people and was used by the citizens of Carthago Nova until the 2nd century. Thanks to the archaeological excavations carried out in the 90's and the design of the architect Rafael Moneo, today it is possible to enjoy this tour of Cartagena's glorious era.
