Roman remains at Gades square, Cádiz

Roman remains at Gades square, Cádiz

In the heart of Cádiz, a square has Roman ruins as its main decorative element. It's a curious contrast to the city's lack of a bullring.

Plaza de Asdrúbal, a square built on the site of the last bullring of Cádiz, is surrounded by blocks of houses and opens to the Atlantic. The square's most striking feature is its archaeological remains, which speak of the importance of Gades in Roman Hispania.
