 | Málaga Roman Theater Reviews | 1 - 10 of 13 |  |
Malaga's Roman theatre lies at the foot of the Alcazaba fortress in the western part of the city. It was discovered in 1951, after having remained buried underground for many centuries. Dating back to the first century, it was built during the Empire of Augustus. It was used up until the third century. The Arabs used parts of the theatre for their own building purposes. They took capitals and column shafts for their own Alcazaba fortress as support for the horseshoe arches over the doorways. The theatre has a radius of 31 metres is 16 metres tall and has an orchestra of 15 metres.
El Teatro Romano de Málaga se encuentra al pie del cerro de la Alcazaba, en la Calle Alcazabilla. Fue descubierto en 1951 tras permanecer enterrado durante siglos, cuando se estaban realizando unos trabajos para la Casa de la Cultura, descubriéndose que estaba construida encima del mismo. En 1994, la casa de la cultura fue derribada, descubriéndose todo el teatro. Leave a Comment Phone: + 34 951 04 14 00Directions: Next to the Alcazaba

We can began the tour around Malaga from this point, just at the entrance to the Alcazaba at the left is the Roman theater.
As most of the mediterranean cities, whenever they dig for the foundations of a new building they find roman ruins or others.
In particular I remeber the librery that was where is now the Roamn thater, around 10 years ago, they finally changed to another building and resaured this Theater.
From here we can go up to the Alcazaba

During some renovations to Malaga library a few years ago (1951), they discovered the remains of a Roman Theatre on the site. The Library was pulled down completely and rebuilt elsewhere and excavations carried out on the theatre. Today it can be visited along with the Alcazaba, located on the hill behind it.

We walked down the Calle de Alcazabilia and on our left a fence excluded us fro construction work at the base of a hill. Midway up the hill was the Alcazar and at the summit the Gibralfaro. The work at the base was at the site of the Roman Theater. Work has been going on here for many years as they excavate and recreate it. We were told that Malaguenos hope to turn it into a summer concert venue (as many other cities have done with their Roman Theater). Much stone is new because the theater was used as a quarry source for the Alcazaba above. We could not go in the theater but took pictures through the fence. We did not visit the Alcazaba because we were assured we would experience a better one soon in Seville. Leave a Comment Phone: + 34 951 04 14 00Directions: Next to the Alcazaba

I took this photo through the safety fence surrounding the excavations of the 'TEATRO ROMANO' (roman Theatre). I've no idea how long the work has been going on, but they are making a grand job of the reconstruction, using as much of the original stonework as they can. Look at all these ancient stones. Perhaps Stacy can make a Roama Bathroom for Carmen, hahaha. Leave a Comment

Discovered by accident around 1950, the Roman Amphitheatre is a well preserved monument to Málaga's Roman heritage. It lies just outside Alcazaba, the Moorish fortress, which was built over the Roman city preceeding the Moors. Phone: + 34 951 04 14 00Directions: Next to the Alcazaba

At the foot of the Alcazaba you will find the Teatro Romano. It has been restored splendidly & looks fantastic at night when it's all lit up. Phone: + 34 951 04 14 00Directions: Next to the Alcazaba

Just below the entrance to the Alcazaba are the ruins of an amphitheatre dating from Roman times. It is currently under restoration and free to visit.
It was not discovered until 1951. It wasn't used since the 3rd century and the Moors used parts of it for constructing the Alcazaba. Leave a Comment Phone: + 34 951 04 14 00Directions: Next to the Alcazaba

We came across these ancient Roman Remains adjacent to Alcazabilla. I think there is an entrance fee, but we didn't have time to go in, and Mary was feeling rather footsore!! Leave a Comment Directions: Alcazabilla

The situation of this ancient bull fightening area was very bad, because the Moors began to build "La Alcazaba" just on the next quartier. They took stones for building the castle from this Roman time theater badly destroing it. Leave a Comment
