Itinerary
We will begin the excursion to the Roman city of Itálica, departing from Seville around 9:30 a.m. In just over 15 minutes we will arrive at the nearby town of Santiponce, where more than 2000 years ago the Romans founded their first city on the Iberian Peninsula. Our official guide will give you a brief presentation of the place and we will enter the ancient city where emperors like Hadrian and Trajan were born to discover all the secrets of the place. We will walk along the ancient Roman streets, mosaics, thermal baths and houses, such as Neptune's or "the House of the Birds." These will be some of the preserved wonders that we will have the opportunity to discover in a tour full of very surprising images. The famous Itálica Amphitheater is the third largest in the world, with a capacity for 25,000 spectators and where the famous gladiator fights took place. We will also see its famous Roman Theatre, discovered in the middle of the 20th century.
After visiting the archaeological site, Naturanda will accompany you to the Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, a medieval fortress that hides treasures from the Mudejar, Gothic and Baroque periods, paintings, murals and significant sculptures. After finishing this visit we will head back to Seville, where our guide will say goodbye after having enjoyed this magnificent activity.

About Seville
Seville is the passionate capital of Andalusia, a city of Moorish palaces, a vast Gothic cathedral, orange-scented plazas and flamenco.
Seville Cathedral, one of the largest Gothic churches in the world, holds the tomb of Christopher Columbus, and its bell tower, the Giralda, was once the minaret of a great mosque. Next door, the Real Alcázar is a royal palace of Mudéjar courtyards, tilework and gardens, still used by the Spanish royal family.
Top-ranked sights in Seville: Royal Alcázar of Seville (Real Alcázar de Sevilla), Seville Cathedral (Catedral de Santa María de la Sede), The Giralda (El Giraldillo).
