The beautiful remains of an old Roman theater. You can view them anytime from the overlook in the plaza, but if you want to get up close you can enter the attached building, where you'll be shown a short film and view some artifacts before entering the theater itself, where you can walk past the old stage and sit on the stone steps.

A Moorish castle built in the 11th century on a hill in the middle of the city, this old fort is the best-preserved of its kind in Spain. Upon entering you'll climb up past the ramparts offering excellent views of the city and lush gardens to a small Moorish palace at the top which holds a number of artifacts from excavations on the site.

The museum has around 700 pieces of glass, dating from Phoenician times to the 20th century. Housed in a housed in an 18th-century casa palacio which is as fascinating as the objects within. Guided tours only, available in English, but no additional charge and no appointment needed.

In the heart of the city centre and well worth visiting.
