Museo del Teatro Romano

The Roman Theatre of Cartagena is the most visited museum in the entire Region of Murcia, and once you see it you'll understand why. Built during the time of Augustus, this massive 1st-century BC theatre once held around 7,000 spectators and lay buried and forgotten beneath the city for centuries before its rediscovery. The experience of walking through the excavation tunnels and emerging into the open-air theatre is genuinely jaw-dropping. Don't skip this one.
