Description:

A city of Roman ruins steeped in ancient history, Italica is truly worth a visit. As you hear stories that bring the city’s past to life, you marvel at the elaborate designs of age-old mosaics, the foundation of its grand amphitheater, and an archaeological site continually yielding new exploreies.

Embark in your comfortable coach and head to Italica, the birthplace of the Roman emperor Trajan. Follow your knowledgeable guide as you traverse the city and explore the preserved ruins of large villas, whose foundations have remained mostly intact despite centuries of neglect.

View the remnants of the city’s famous amphitheater, which once seated as many as 25,000 spectators and was the third-largest of its kind in the entire Roman Empire. Meander through the hallways and pits that surround this landmark to uncover its engraved plaques and intricate mosaic floors, including its most famous painstakingly crafted work, Neptune and the Seasons.
