Muy bien por lo que significa este lugar y la gente muy agradable. 4 estrellas por el estado de conservación. Aún así no le iría sin visitarlo.

Merida es impresionante, hay que ir con tiempo. Y con ganas de caminar😅 El circo impresionante

Siempre os aconsejare visitar estos lugares históricos, aunque en este caso, el circo sea uno de los que menos me llama la atención. Pero a la entrada del monumento hay una breve exposición que te explica todos los aspectos relevantes de esta construcción: cuál era su función, quiénes eran los aurigas... muy interesante. Y una vez que sabes todo lo anterior, te ayuda a reconstruir en tu mente como pudo ser en su apogeo. ⚠️ Consejo ⚠️ Si vais a visitar más de un monumento, sacaros la tarjeta que por 17 euros os permite visitar todos los gestionados por el consorcio. La podéis sacar en cualquier monumento, pero ojo, en el circo romano no pueden cobraros en metálico, sólo en tarjeta (al menos esto me pasó a mi).
