View of the ancient Roman Theatre in Cartagena, Spain which was only relatively recently discovered in 1988 when new building works accidentally uncovered the ruins. Excavation work is ongoing but the theatre is almost fully restored now

Looking down into a circular, glass, porthole in the Roman theatre visitor centre. My feet and Ronny's feet are visible and our reflections are in the glass. Beyond the reflection you can see a piece of one of the columns that used to support the upper part of the theatre
Cadiz old cathedral looks like a cross between a castle and a rustic farmhouse. The entrance is a large red door surrounded by brick. The section of the building facing the sea has no windows but has a small turret. Why? The English burnt down the original building during one of many attacks on the city. So the first cathedral was rebuilt to look drab so it was less likely to be attacked in the future!
An 18th century house owned by a merchant. A grand door surrounded by columns support a first floor balcony of the door. The ground floor was used for storage of goods, the merchant's family lived on the first floor, the servants on the second and the towers on top were used to keep a lookout, and communicate with, incoming ships bringing goods into Cadiz Most merchant houses in Cadiz have been converted into hotels but developers are required to preserve their architectural features
A roadside lamp shaped like a trident, with the sea in background and the coastline road in the fore

St Albans (Verulaneum) is the place Boudicca “visited” around 61AD and she burnt it to the ground. The Roman theatre (c. 140AD) came later, but it sits by the road her army likely marched down before their final stand.
