🏢 About the local organisation
Organised by the Instituto de la juventud de Extremadura in collaboration with the Consorcio Patronato del Festival internacional de Teatro clásico de Mérida.
Mérida, the capital of Extremadura in western Spain, was founded by the Romans in the 1st century BC. Remains of the ancient city, such as the Roman theatre, still remain. This theatre is still in operation and has two rows of columns on the stage. Its 792 m Roman bridge spans the Guadiana River until it joins the Alcazaba, the 9th century Islamic fortress built on top of the Roman walls.
