Spain: Mérida

Today I got two postcards: one from Spain and one from Denmark.

The card from Spain shows the Roman Theatre in Extremadura's capital Mérida. Mérida was founded as Emerita Augusta in 25 BC by Octavius Augustus. Emerita Augusta was the capital of the province of Lusitania and was an important cultural, ecological and military centre. The Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida is since 1993 a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
