Every sight you see in this town speaks of its legacy as part of the Roman Empire and one of the most important towns in Hispania (the Roman name for Spain and Portugal). Faithful remnants of this legacy include a complex which comprises of a Roman amphitheatre and Theatre (which still host performances in summer months), the Roman Circus, the Temple to Diana, the Trajan Arch, the House of the Mithraeum (Casa de Mitreo), the archaeological site at Santa Eulalia Church, the beautifully preserved Roman bridge over the Guadiana River and the Los Milagros Aqueduct. All of these Roman ruins are wonderfully explained along with further Roman artefacts in the National Museum of Roman Art (Museo Nacional de Arte Romano). The Moors also left their mark on the area with their citadel (am imposing Arab fortress), as did the Visigoths, whose art you can discover in the Museum of Visigoth Art (Museo de Arte Visigótico).
