Mérida

Roman Heart of the Silver Way. Mérida, a World Heritage Site, impresses the pilgrim with its Theatre, Amphitheatre and Roman Bridge, a journey through time in Extremadura.

Discover Mérida

Merida, the ancient Emerita Augusta, capital of Roman Lusitania, is one of the most spectacular and culturally rich stops on the Silver Way. Declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, the city is an authentic outdoor museum that allows pilgrims to walk literally over history. The Camino de Santiago crosses the heart of its Roman legacy, crossing the impressive Roman Bridge over the Guadiana River, one of the longest in antiquity. A visit to the Roman Theater and Amphitheater is unforgettable experience that transports the traveler to the grandeur of the Empire. The Temple of Diana, the Aqueduct of the Miracles, and the Arch of Trajan are among many other landmarks that mark the city. For pilgrims, Merida is a convergence point of routes, as it converges with Mozarabic paths coming from Andalusia. With a complete range of hostels and services, it's an ideal place for a rest day and to immerse oneself in a glorious past. It's a milestone that connects the Roman road with the Jacobean path in a unique way.
