View of the ruins of the Teatro Romano in Cádiz, Spain.

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.
