Very badly maintained castle, thought has potential. Not worth to come from far, unless if you pass by. Didn't stay in the hotel.

If I could, I would put zero. we arrived, there is a guy in front of us who doesn't understand English, I was even ready to speak Russian. Therefore, if you go there, be prepared that you won't get past the gate if you don't know Estonian.

This castle servers as hostel. It’s small inside, not much to see inside, also view from the upper tower is not interesting. It’s very nice from outside though. Definitely not worth 7 EUR entrance fee.

Cštle grounds are not very well kept.Entrance to the park is 3 eur but if you want to visit also castle than ticket is hefty 15 eur. Not worth it.

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.
