   The Teatro Romano, built around 15 BC to seat 6000 spectators and set in lovely gardens, has a dramatic and well-preserved two-tier backdrop of Corinthian stone columns; the stage’s facade (scaenae frons) was inaugurated in AD 105. The only Roman building in Mérida to be used for its original purpose, the theatre hosts performances during the Festival del Teatro Clásico in summer.
