The Roman theater was undoubtedly one of the places that intrigued me the most, mainly because we can still walk or sit and feel the sensation of where high levels of our history have passed culturally.
The theater, although weakened, is still possible, the main stones and some of the seats are still standing. It was built in the 1st century BC by Emperor Augustus. He has seen countless stories unfold beneath its ancient stones.

El teatro romano fue sin duda uno de los lugares que más me intrigó, principalmente porque todavía podemos caminar o sentarnos y sentir la sensación de por dónde transcurrieron culturalmente altos niveles de nuestra historia.
El teatro, aunque debilitado, aún es posible, las piedras principales y algunas de las butacas siguen en pie. Fue construido en el siglo I a.C. por el emperador Augusto. Ha visto innumerables historias desarrollarse bajo sus piedras antiguas.

I walked around the seats for a while and felt as if I was in the presence of people from that era, laughing and applauding their performing arts.
From what we know to this day, it was the center of cultural activities at the time, where the arts were a discovery to entertain the people.

Caminé un rato entre los asientos y sentí como si estuviera en presencia de gente de esa época, riendo y aplaudiendo sus artes escénicas.
Hasta donde sabemos hasta el día de hoy, fue el centro de actividades culturales de la época, donde las artes eran un descubrimiento para entretener a la gente.

Over time, the theater fell into disrepair and was forgotten. The people who settled in that area (Andalusia), more precisely in Málaga, saw this as an opportunity to extract stones to build the imposing Alcazaba fortress, which is right next door.
It is still possible to see some untouchable columns from the old theater that still support the fortress.

Con el tiempo, el teatro cayó en mal estado y cayó en el olvido. Los pueblos que se asentaron en esa zona (Andalucía), más precisamente en Málaga, vieron en ello una oportunidad para extraer piedras para construir la imponente Alcazaba, que está justo al lado.
Aún es posible ver algunas columnas intocables del antiguo teatro que aún sostienen la fortaleza.

The discovery only caused one problem: if they were to build the culture house in that location, it would be under a new construction. The solution was very controversial, it involved demolishing part of modernity to rescue antiquity.
The excavations gradually began to bear fruit.
The restoration was not easy and was only completed in 2011, as there were many pieces left to assemble, as part of them had been used in the neighboring Albazaza Fort.
It took 27 years of continuous work to show history to the people.

El hallazgo solo generó un problema: si construyeran la casa de cultura en ese lugar, sería de nueva construcción. La solución fue muy controvertida, pasaba por derribar parte de la modernidad para rescatar la antigüedad.
Las excavaciones poco a poco empezaron a dar sus frutos.
La restauración no fue fácil y no se completó hasta 2011, ya que quedaban muchas piezas por montar, ya que parte de ellas habían sido utilizadas en el vecino Fuerte de Albazaza.
Fueron necesarios 27 años de trabajo continuo para mostrar la historia al pueblo.
