On the seaward edge of the Barrio del Pópulo, Cádiz' Roman theater dates from the late 1st century BCE and, originally, had space for 10,000 spectators. A Moorish castle was later erected here, then rebuilt by Alfonso X El Sabio. You can access the excavated theater via its modern interpretation center, which has English- and Spanish-language displays detailing the site's history.
