How to get there

Road transport

Segóbriga is the clearest example of social progress and urban development of the southern plain in Roman times. The Roman City's urban development apparently started in half-way through the 1st century B.C., when its mint started issuing coins and when part of the walls, whose construction finalised in the period of Augustus, was ordered.

Over the 1st and 2nd centuries A.D. a number of new buildings were erected in the city, with the building of a new theatre, amphitheatre, basilica, porticos and thermal baths, etc. This made the city similar in appearance to large towns in other Roman territories. A large part of these works were financed thanks to private contributions, and the theatre is noted for its importance, in particular, we can highlight the theatre, where a script on the front of the stage details the financing of the works by a Senator-level family.

The same occurred in the case of the large thermal baths in the upper part of the city, built at the end of the first century A.D. or the beginning of the second century A.D., where a large notice discovered following excavations contains part of an imperial title, most probable related to the building of the complex.
