My tip“Start with the museum and the introductory film; the ground is gravel, so wear closed shoes. Closed Mondays, and free entry on some days.”
One of the most beautiful Roman cities preserved on the central plateau: a theatre, amphitheatre, baths, forum and walls, on a quiet site among hills. It flourished thanks to mines of the “transparent stone” that was used as window glass in Rome.
Easy to reach, needs a car
1 hour 15 minutes from Madrid on the A-3. A slightly uphill, exposed dirt track; 2 hours.
