A Castle under everyone's eyes that few observe and that deserves to be observed! The castle also presents itself as a hotel residence and information can be found on the website. Almost hidden by vegetation it allows for a very appreciable view of the city of Bolzano. Nearby there is a bunker which, seen from above, is in line with a cross and the bell tower of the church of San Paolo.... a beautiful vision and a profound contrast of meanings!!!!

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.
