Itálica Roman Ruins and Medieval Monastery Guided Tour from Seville

This full-day tour takes you beyond Seville to explore two fascinating historical sites: the ancient Roman city of Itálica and the medieval Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo. You'll discover one of Spain's most important archaeological sites, where Roman emperors once walked, before stepping into a beautifully preserved 14th-century monastery.

Your guided tour begins at the Itálica Roman ruins in Santiponce, just 20 minutes from Seville. Walk along original Roman streets and marvel at the intricate mosaics that still decorate ancient houses and thermal baths. The highlight is the massive amphitheatre, one of the largest in the Roman Empire, which has gained modern fame as a filming location for popular television series. Your expert guide brings these ancient stones to life with stories of gladiatorial combat and daily Roman life.

The tour then continues to the nearby Monastery of San Isidoro del Campo, a striking Gothic-Mudéjar complex founded in 1301. Explore the peaceful cloisters, admire centuries-old murals, and learn about the monastery's role in Spanish religious and cultural history.
