Discover Itálica: The Forgotten Roman City Near Seville

Step Into the Past, Just Minutes from Seville

Just 15 minutes from Seville’s bustling center lies Itálica, one of Spain’s best-kept archaeological secrets — a city of Roman emperors, gladiators, and ancient streets frozen in time.

Founded in 206 BC, Itálica was the birthplace of emperors Hadrian and Trajan and once rivaled Rome in grandeur. Today, its vast remains — from mosaics to amphitheaters — offer a quiet, awe-inspiring glimpse into the past.

At Tours From Madrid, we bring you beyond the surface with curated, private experiences that turn these silent ruins into vivid, personal stories.
