I suppose coming from Colchester and having visited Pompeii and Herculaneum I was expecting just a bit more. It is well preserved and looked after but not much information around the Theatre.

Partially resored Roman Theatre, which you can see from the street or at the entrace to the Alcazar, worth a few holiday snaps

Interactive digital "table-top" panels - very interesting and fun to use. Interesting site with the Alcazaba towering above.
