Seville: Italica

We had a fantastic day with our friend Marcial, visiting Italica, a more-than-2000-year-old Roman city. The floor tiles are still intact, the ancient plumbing is still visible, the layout and the walls and the gardens are all evident. We ended our day at Ventorillo Canario, a Canary Islands restaurant. The food was outstanding: grilled beef, salted potatoes with an amazing salsa, olives, beer, and croquettes. 

The mosaic of the Neptune house, depicting Neptune with an array
of sea creatures. This room is believed to have been the frigidarium of
the thermal baths.

From the house of birds, so named because of the mosaic
(there are more than 30 birds!)

The gods representing the days of the week.

David and Marcial, overlooking the baths.

The amphitheatre is impressive. You can walk inside it as well as up into
the stands.

The hall within the stadium, on the ground level, tunneled in the rocks beneath the seating.
