Like all cities Zaragoza has built its new constructions on the ruins of the previous.

As the Romans were here first, not much is left of their colony of Caesaraugusta.

 

But some ruins have survived the storms of time and are on display today.

 

An 80 meters stretch of the original roman wall can be seen at the Avenida de Cesar Augusto, just west ogf the Plaza del Pilar.

Here you can also admire a bronze statue of emperor Augustus.

 

During construction works in 1972 the theatre was discovered and after further excavations turned into a museum.

 

In 1982 parts of the roman public baths, including some latrines were uncovered. They are now on display at the Termas Caesaraugusta museum.

 

Remains of the Great Forum are situated below the Seo Cathedral and can be accessed through a cubic building on the Plaza la Seo.
