Merida Spain 1890-1900 Officially : Mérida is the capital of the Extremadura region in western Spain and is famous for its archaeological ensemble, which stands as one of the largest and best-preserved Roman sites outside of Italy. These archival photographs document the city's multi-layered history, specifically featuring early excavations of the Roman Theater columns, the ancient Roman Bridge across the Guadiana River, the fortified stone structures of the 9th-century Islamic Alcazaba, and a collection of preserved 5th-to-8th-century Visigothic decorative stone pillars and reliefs.
