Italica is a well-preserved Roman city located just outside the city of Seville in southern Spain. It was founded in 206 BC as a settlement for soldiers wounded in the Second Punic War, and eventually became a thriving city with a population of around 10,000.

The ruins of Italica are an important archaeological site that provide valuable insights into Roman culture and daily life. The site includes the remains of a large amphitheater that could seat up to 25,000 people, which was the third largest in the Roman world, as well as a theater, temples, public baths, and private houses.

One of the most impressive sights at Italica is the mosaics that decorate the floors of many of the buildings. These mosaics are highly detailed and include a variety of scenes, such as animals, gods and goddesses, and everyday life.

Italica is also notable for being the birthplace of two Roman emperors: Trajan and Hadrian. A museum on the site includes many artifacts and statues from the Roman period, as well as information about the city's history.
