Itinerary
This is a guided tour of Italica, the first Roman city founded in the Iberian peninsula and the birthplace of the Emperors Trajan and Hadrian. The main building on this archaeological site is the amphitheatre, the third largest in the world with a capacity for 25,000 spectators. Italica is also well known by its mosaics and 'domus'. Then, visit 'San Isidoro del Campo' - a restored Medieval fortress monastery, all by minivan (optional). Episodes from the Game of Thrones television series were filmed in and around the Roman ruins of Itálica. Most of it, the Roman amphitheater was the setting of the Dragonpit, where several key characters held a summit in season seven.

Traveler reviews
Guided Italica is a MUST!
This truly is a must if traveling to Seville, even if you've already toured Rome's Colosseum! Our guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and also kept the tour moving along which was particularly helpful for our younger children. Our family tends to fly solo, but we found the (very reasonable) investment in a guide to be especially worth it here because signage is still fairly limited, and she offered so much historical context.
Italica
Miguel was a great tour guide and extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this often overlooked sight. If you appreciate the history of Rome then this is a definite must see. Also this tour lets you go and visit the monastery where the first Spanish translation of the Bible was written which adds to the significant historical experience this tour offers.
Well worth a visit
Booked this through Tripadvisor recommendations as there are plenty to choose from. Very good guide and a very good trip. Wish I had re-watched Game of Thrones before we went so I could picture the exact scene. Not that it would make a great deal of difference as, in my opinion, is an unnecessary, tenuous link anyway. I must admit that I got very confused over what parts were genuine and which (bricks, stone structure) were replicas. Our trip also included a guided tour around the monastry which was also interesting. Was not sure of the depiction of the 'black' Jesus was real of just grim though! Trip only spoilt by rude Americans barging their way about and breaking the unwritten rule of coach trips in sitting in the same seats and not rushing in to get better ones.
Jesus you're amazing
Fantastic experience for two reasons the first and definitely immerse yourself in a place although nn very extensive but full of charm and curiosity 'the second reason and Jesus our guide who in addition to competence and passion expresses a sympathy and a way of doing that involves you !! Jesus and the number one!
Great tour!
Emilio was a great guide and very fun to talk to! Highly recommend this if you are into roman history and game of thrones!!
