Getting to watch the short digital videographic show in the small brown building at the side of the amphitheatre (English & Spanish) truly added to understanding the features and how this great archeological find would have operated in real life. Walking among it makes one get a sense of the history..
We stopped in Malaga for a full day while on an NCL cruise. We walked all around the old city center and found the Roman Theatre. It is at the foot of the Alcazaba fortress and we found it easily using Google maps.
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.
