Málaga Roman Theatre

Well it just stays there. Visiting the Roman theater ruins was an unforgettable experience. The site is well-preserved enough to spark the imagination, allowing you to picture how grand and lively it must have been in ancient times. Walking among the stone seating and arches feels like stepping back in history. It’s a must-see for anyone who enjoys culture, history, or simply beautiful places with a story to tell.

Located on the slope of The Alcazaba the Roman Theatre was covered until 1951. Discovered in the mid-20th century during construction of the Casa de la Cultura, its excavation revealed marble flooring, a rainwater drainage system, and intact supports for the wooden performance platform. Despite centuries of burial and use as a quarry during Muslim rule, the theater survived in exceptional condition. In 1994, the Casa de la Cultura was demolished to expand the archaeological zone, uncovering the extraordinary extent of the Roman theater’s preservation beneath the urban fabric of Málaga.

Beautiful Amphitheater & roman ruins Dating back from the 1st Century this complex of building is unique and beautiful as in the town center. It is well worth seeing and visiting. We all really enjoyed it!

Fantastic to take a look at this at night and see it all lit up, make sure to take a look when you’re passing after your evening meal in the town

It was incredible, nice & sad because I was afraid for the esqueleton of a poor roman & the masks of tribal species, nice Woman there neverthless, preety and cool as well the guy who attends in the back Office, but he didn't let me go up the Kilimanjaro because he told me that is a mountain down in Africa, that here I could go to Grijalbo, he didn't reslize that I've no legs!

It is free, so why not see it if you are there. Especially as it is at the bottom.of the Alcazaba..It was buried under slums for centuries, before it was discovered...Wonderful piece of history. Would be nice if there was some info about it, but there is always Google.. Just don't go to the awful Tapas place just down the road from it..

This was a wonderful find. It was free to visit, there was lots to look at and it was all very well preserved and very well maintained. The area’s lower down were clearly visible from the flat area at the front. For those who are willing to climb the steps there is a fantastic view of the whole city from the top.is would not be easily accessible to families with pushchairs or those who have a disability. There is some shade at certain points but much of this is in the sun.

The Malaga Roman Theatre is a fascinating archaeological site dating back to the 1st century BC during the reign of Emperor Augustus. Discovered in 1951, this ancient theater was once buried beneath buildings for centuries. The well preserved seating area (cavea) and stage give visitors an excellent sense of Roman entertainment culture. The adjacent interpretation center provides informative displays about the theater's history and Roman life in ancient Malacitanum. Best of all, entry is free, making it an essential stop for history lovers.
