North of Seville, near the Guadalquivir River, lies Itálica, one of Andalusia’s most significant historical sites. Founded in 206 BC, Itálica was the first and largest Roman settlement in southern Spain. Today, visitors can explore the site on a guided tour, discovering intricate mosaics, a well-preserved amphitheater, and the remains of grand villas and city streets. These ruins offer a tangible glimpse into the urban layout and daily life of ancient Roman inhabitants.
