For the third term we are working on history!
Here we have some of the amazing discoveries our kids have made about ancient monuments in Spain. 

Ana Ruiz investigated one of the most significant ancient monuments left on the Iberian Peninsula, the Aqueduct of Segovia. This Roman aqueduct is located in Spain and it is the most important symbol of Segovia. Sergio Fuenlabrada says the aqueduct is 28 meters high and that it is made from  granite blocks. The first reconstruction took place during the reign of King Fernando and Queen Isabel.



Alba Herrero looked at the Alcantara Bridge. She says it is a Roman bridge that was built between 104 and 106 AD because of the Roman Emperor Trajan. It goes over the Tagus River, which is located in Alcantara, Spain. The inscription on the bridge says Pontem perpetui mansurum in saecula (I have built a bridge which will last forever). 

Lucia De Lerma discovered a Roman amphitheatre in Tarragona, Spain. She tells us the Tarragona Amphitheatre was built in 2nd century AD and that at one point 14,000 people could go and watch the fights between gladiators and animals. 





Juan Pedraza tells us that Merida, Spain holds the most important ancient Roman monuments in Spain. The city has an amphitheatre, arches, bridges, and other Roman monuments that still remain today. Adriana Herrero adds that at one point, it was one of the most important cities in the Roman empire. Lidia Tena found out that the Roman theatre in Merida could hold almost 6000 people. She says it is very well preserved. Miguel Valdes and Sergio de la Mata want to add that it was built in the colony Augusta Emerita on what is now known the hill of San Albin. Mayte Rodriguez adds that the amphitheatre is still in use today for performances during summer theatre festivals and that the city was founded in 25 BC!

Lucia Reyes discovered the Lugo Roman Walls, which UNESCO says are "the finest surviving example of late Roman military fortifications." These walls show how powerful the military of Rome was. Some of the original gates are still there and so are 46 of the original towers. Pablo Ramo says the walls go around the historic city centre of Lugo in Galicia and that they are 2 kilometers. They were built between 263 and 276 AD. 


Alba Galiano says there are 3 Roman monuments in the medieval town of Caceres. The "Arco del Cristo" is the only gate of the Roman wall that is still standing in Caceres. Marta Garcia tells us the city was founded by the Romans in 25 BC and that part of the wall around the city still remains today.




Laura Fuenlabrada discovered an ancient Roman bridge in Salamanca, Spain. She says it stands 356 metres over the Tormes River and that it has 15 granite stone arches leading into Salamanca. It was built in the first century AD. 






Kalani Linares found the Tower of Hercules at the entrance of La Coruña harbour in north-western  Spain. He says it was built in the late 1st century AD when the romans built the Farum Brigantium. Angel Reyero adds that the structure is almost 1900 years old and is the oldest Roman lighthouse used today. It is also the second tallest lighthouse in Spain.







Gonzalo Sala discovered the Roman Theatre of Cartagena which was built between 5 and 1 BC. The theatre could hold about 7,000 spectators and had a diameter of 87 meters. The theatre was discovered in 1988 and restorations were completed in 2003.








German Pinilla tells us the Sagunto Roman Theatre in Valencia.It was contructed in the first century AD and holds the honour of being the first monument in Spain to be declared a Spanish National Monument in 1896. It is one of the most important jewels of the Roman culture in Spain. Itziar Cachon says 8,000 people can go and sit at the theatre to watch a show today. 


Pedro Perez tells us about the Campo Valdes Roman Baths in Gijon in northern Spain. The baths were built between the 1st and 4th centuries AD and they were later discovered in 1903. Along the excavation, archaeological objects tell us the flora and fauna of that time. 


 

Angelica Saglimbeni found the Roman ruins of the Roman city Italica near Sevilla. She says it was founded in 206 BC by the Roman general Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus. The Roman emperor Trajan was born in this ancient city. Italica was also home to the third largest amphitheatre in the Roman Empire, seating 25,000 spectators.
