With a capacity of almost 30,000 people, it was one of the greatest circuses in the Roman world, probably dating from the Ier century. And surely one of the best preserved. The monumental aspect of his «porta pompae» was noticed, by which the solemn procession preceded the races. Recently renovated, space also hosts an interpretive center to better understand the role of circus in the Roman world, using an important audiovisual and graphic material.

Visite du Cirque Romain à Mérida, Espagne
Le Cirque Romain situé à Mérida en Espagne est un site grandiose. La visite commence par le centre d’interprétation, très intéressant, un petit film, puis la vue d’ensemble depuis le mirador sur le haut du bâtiment d’accueil avant de se rendre dans le Cirque Romain proprement dit. J’ai trouvé relativement émouvant d’imaginer une course de chars dans cet endroit magique ! Des panonceaux en espagnol et anglais sont disséminés en différents points du cirque et apportent d’autres éléments d’information concernant l’Historique de ce site. Je recommande.
