Restored ampitheatre, almost wish they had kept it more original, like Itálica. The walk up is nice and not difficult if you are fit. We have been bringing student groups for decades now and they are stunned at the size and majesty of this place. I highly recommend contracting a local guide to explain the history in order to gain a better understanding of this national monument. Under COVID you can't access the upper areas of the theater, which is a shame, but we havee to take what we can get these days.

A fantastic place to view . You are better off parking in town as you can't drive up to the castle. There is a little road train that will take you up to the castle. The Roman Theatre has been rebuilt incorporating the ancient amphitheatre. The amphitheatre is part of the castle which is a huge complex of Jewish and Roman buildings, including ancient Jewish cemetery. The castle has been added to and expanded over the centuries and it is interesting to see different influences and uses from the past. The castle is not suitable for pushchairs or very young children as it will take 3 to 4 hours to investigate all there is to offer. The castle is very steep and uneven so good shoes are advisable. There are no amenities, at the castle, so make sure you bring food and water. But there are a few lovely little resturants on the way down. You wouldn't be disappointed with the place it is a great day out. And there is no entrance fee.
Stunning piece of history, well restored and great to visit. Informative and interesting. Make a point to stop and visit if you're passing Sagunto.
This is a true spectacle tucked away in this historic hill. The acoustics of the Roman theater are impressive. Take a tour and explore the other parts of these ancient ruins. When you're done take in the picturesque town and narrow streets. You may want to park near the town center and take the short walk. The streets get narrower the higher you go up the hill. Even our local host was unnerved by the steep and narrow roads by car.
Sagunto's Roman Theatre has been heavily modernised but there are still glimpses of the past and you can reach the various enclosed concreted seating areas via the ancient corridors beneath them. It's a bit of a climb from the main square in an otherwise non-descript town but worth the effort. It's free entry and there are toilets and an info centre (when open) available.
