Explore this site, founded in 206 BC by the general Publius Cornelius Scipio as a settlement for soldiers wounded in the Battle of Illipa. Walk through the birthplace of Marcus Ulpius Trajan (53 AD) and his successor Aelius Hadrian (76 AD).
Visit the birthplace of emperors Trajan and Hadrian on a half-day trip to the Roman city of Italica from Seville. See one of the largest amphitheatres in the world and a medieval monastery.
