A splendid nuraghe abandoned to itself in the Plaaghe countryside, it deserves greater interest

Completely closed up, all access fenced and wired off. Such a waste of a journey on very rough terrain.

I think it is an underrated nuraghe and that it should be enhanced more, perhaps by arranging the roads in the area better and cutting the grass, so that you can better enjoy the beauty of this single tower.

Dead end. And unfortunately not accessible

Roman Theatre

The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. One of the most famous and visited landmarks in Spain, the Roman Theatre of Mérida is regarded as a Spanish cultural icon and was chosen as one of the 12 Treasures of Spain.

The theatre has undergone several renovations, notably at the end of the 1st century or early 2nd century CE (possibly during the reign of Emperor Trajan), when the current facade of the scaenae frons was erected, and another in the time of Constantine I (between 330 and 340), which introduced new decorative-architectural elements and a walkway around the monument. Following the theatre"s abandonment in Late Antiquity, it was slowly covered with earth, with only the upper tiers of seats (summa cavea) remaining visible.
