Gadir's first-century BC Roman Theatre is one of the largest ever built in the Roman world and was rediscovered buried beneath the city in 1980, its impressive stone seating and orchestra pit now exposed in an open-air archaeological site in the heart of Cadiz. The theatre illustrates the city's claim as one of the oldest continuously inhabited settlements in Western Europe, with roots stretching back to the Phoenicians around 1100 BC. Hotels near the Roman Theatre put guests in the most historically layered part of this extraordinary Atlantic city.
