S2 : EP, 53. Mérida, former Roman Empire capital overseas.
About this episode
In our latest Spanish Loops program, we talk about the rich history of Mérida, the former capital of the Roman province of Lusitania.
Established by Emperor Augustus, this strategic city played a key role for Roman troops traveling north and south through the Iberian Peninsula, thanks to its position on the Guadiana River.
Today, Mérida stands as a testament to Roman engineering, housing one of the largest ancient complexes outside Rome and now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Join us as we teach you the story of this remarkable city.
Happy listening!
