Roman Theatre of Cartagena (Teatro Romano) is part of Caminos de Roma, a guided route running from 6 to 12 October 2026 in Cartagena, Spain. The programme links the theatre with other Roman remains and gives participants access to the Cardo Maximus, an ancient street opened exclusively for the route.
The programme falls within the current visit period for the monument and offers a specific way to see the theatre alongside the wider archaeological landscape of Carthago Nova.
Caminos de Roma links the theatre to Cartagena’s Roman remains
Cartagena Puerto de Culturas lists Caminos de Roma as a guided route from 6 to 12 October 2026. The route visits the principal archaeological sites of the Theatre and Roman Forum, while the Cardo Maximus is opened exclusively to participants.
The route is therefore more than a visit to a single building. It places the Roman Theatre within an urban sequence that includes the Forum and one of the city’s ancient roads. The museum’s route programme identifies the theatre, the Forum and the Cardo Maximus as the principal elements of the experience.
The Roman Theatre preserves a first-century BC performance space
The museum dates the theatre to the first century BC. It stands on the slope of one of Cartagena’s higher hills, where the natural terrain helped shape the cavea, or seating area. The central part of the seating was cut into the rock, while vaulted galleries supported the sides.
The theatre has three horizontal seating sections, known as the ima, media and summa cavea, divided by radial stairways. The operator records capacity for 7,000 spectators and describes a 16-metre-high stage facade with two architectural orders. These features give the Caminos de Roma route a direct connection with both the building and the city around it. The museum’s historical description also explains how the theatre was integrated into the modern museum route.
