Teatro Romano
At the foot of the Alcazaba fortress lies the oldest monument in Malaga, the Teatro Romano (Roman Theatre). The theatre was built in the first century BC, under Emperor Augustus, and then after the third century AD it was left to ruin before it was re-occupied in 756-780 AD by Moorish settlers, and it was then buried underneath dirt and rocks. In recent years an extensive restoration project has been underway.
Performances are sometimes held at the monument, most often in summer, and a Visitors' Centre has been operational since 2010, which provides historical information about the site together with displays of archaeological findings and audio visual demonstrations of the excavation and restoration of the site.
