Cartagena Roman Amphitheatre could be open to visitors in summer 2024

ARCHIVED ARTICLE -

After 2,000 years the amphitheatre is being unearthed alongside the remains of the bullring of Cartagena

Cartagena Roman Amphitheatre could be open to visitors in summer 2024 A further boost to the already considerable tourist attractions of Cartagena has come this week in the form of news that the Roman amphitheatre, which has lain largely buried for most of the last 2,000 years, could be opened to visits from the public by the summer of 2024.

This is the view expressed by the Mayoress of Cartagena, Noelia Arroyo, during a visit to the site on Thursday August 3, when she inspected the work which started on June 1 to unearth and partially restore the south-eastern section of the structure. This project has been undertaken at a cost of approximately a million euros and is projected to last 10 months.

Cartagena Roman Amphitheatre could be open to visitors in summer 2024 The intention, Sra Arroyo explained, is for the amphitheatre to become not only a monumental complex including the Roman structure and part of the 19^th century bullring which was built on top of it – also a historic structure in its own right – but also a cultural venue adding to the historical significance of the historic city of Cartagena.

The Mayoress adds that by next summer it could be possible to visit around 25% of the amphitheatre while excavation and restoration continues in other areas, while architect Andrés Cánovas stressed the multi-layered historical significance of the area: apart from the 1^st century amphitheatre it also contains the 18^th-century Hospital de Marina and the bullring.

But of most interest to visitors will be the opportunity to visualize the arena in which gladiators were put to the test in the interests of entertainment in the Roman city of Carthago Nova!
