Stand in a Roman amphitheater that held 25,000 spectators, then walk a medieval monastery on the way back

This half-day guided tour from Seville takes you to Italica, the first Roman city founded in the Iberian peninsula and birthplace of Emperors Trajan and Hadrian. The route centers on the amphitheater—the third largest in the world—and the mosaics and residential structures (domus) scattered across the site, then includes a stop at San Isidoro del Campo, a restored medieval fortress monastery. A professional guide leads the group by minivan; round-trip transfer from central Seville is included. A minimum of four participants is required to run the tour.

The Experience

What makes Italica different from other Roman sites is its scale and what survived: the amphitheater alone could seat 25,000 people, and the mosaics that decorated the homes of wealthy residents are still visible underfoot. The guide walks you through both, explaining how the city was built as a settlement for Roman soldiers and eventually became the home of two emperors. The site is large enough that a minivan moves the group between the main attractions rather than having you walk the whole thing on foot.

After Italica, the route includes San Isidoro del Campo, a medieval fortress monastery that sits on the way back to Seville. The contrast between the Roman ruins and the later medieval structure gives the tour a longer arc through history. The whole outing runs about four hours from pickup to drop-off, which is why it works as a half-day excursion if you're based in the city. You'll need a minimum group of four people for the tour to run; if you're booking alone or with a small party, check whether others are already scheduled on your preferred date and time.

Pickup happens from one of three points in central Seville—calle Trajano, calle Rastro, or calle Zaragoza—depending on which option you choose at checkout. The guide speaks English, Spanish, Italian or French. Specialized infant seats are available if you're traveling with small children, and the sites and transport are wheelchair accessible.
