Withouth any doubt, the Caesaraugusta theatre was the finest and most popular building in the city.

Situated in a privileged urban area, in line with the Baths and the Forum, building was begun in Tiberius time, although it was not completed until later. Its heyday was during the time of the Julian-Claudian and Flavian dynasties, and went into decline in the 3rd century, when it began to be systematically looted. However, although it fell into disuse as a building for spectacles, its ruins were re-used early on, and it has been the site for housing all through history, bearing latent witness to the life of Zaragoza up to the 20th century.
