There are those who say that fate is something beyond our command. That our destinies are not our own. But I know better. Our fate lives within us. You only have to be brave enough to see it.

Fue fundada como colonia romana en el año 25 a. C. por orden del emperador Octavio Augusto para servir de retiro a los soldados veteranos (eméritos) de las legiones V Alaudae y X Gemina; de ahí su nombre romano de Emérita Augusta,

Can you picture what will be?
So limitless and free
Desperately in need
Of some stranger's hand
In a desperate land

An evening in Merida.
Basic set of Black and White points in LR 6 and then I applied a Photomorphis preset.
Merida is the capitol of Extremadura and was one of the most famous Roman capitols of the Iberian Peninsula. It features some of the best preserved Roman ruins in Europe.
In the Roman Empire, the city was known as "Emerita Augusta", the capital of the province of Lusitania. It was founded in 25 BC by Emperor Augustus as a colony for the veteran soldiers ("emeritus") of the Roman legions. The city was very important in Roman Hispania. It was endowed with all the comforts of a large Roman city and served as the capital of the Roman province of Lusitania. For centuries, until the fall of the Roman Empire, Mérida was an important economic, military, and cultural center.
Following invasions from the Visigoths, Mérida remained an important city of the Visigothic Kingdom of Hispania in the 6th century. In 713, the Arabs conquered the city and devastated it. Even under Islamic rule, Mérida remained a bishop's seat until it was moved to Santiago de Compostela in 1119.
In 1230 the Christian troops under Alfonso IX conquered Mérida during the Reconquista.
The "Puente romano de Merida" is considered to be the longest bridge preserved from antiquity. In Roman times, the structure spanned the Guadiana River on 62 arches with a total length of 755 m. Today the bridge is 721 m long and rests on 60 arches.
The bridge was constructed concurrently with the founding of the colony in the last decades of the 1st century BC. It was built on a shallow part of the river, where there is also a river island. Originally, two separate groups of arches spanned the river, connected by a wooden structure. However, parts of the original bridge were destroyed in a flood in 1603. It was then decided to connect the two groups of arches in the middle using additional arches. Since then, the bridge has run in one piece over the river. Until 1990, cars could cross the bridge.

The "Teatro romano de Mérida" was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. It has undergone several renovations, notably at the end of the 1st century or early 2nd century CE when the current facade was erected, and another at the time of Constantine I, which introduced new decorative-architectural elements and a walkway around the monument. Following the theatre's abandonment in Late Antiquity, it was slowly covered with earth.
In its time it had a seating capacity of 6,000. The diameter is about 86 meters.
The Roman Theatre of Mérida is a construction promoted by the consul Vipsanius Agrippa in the Roman city of Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania (current Mérida, Spain). It was constructed in the years 16 to 15 BCE. One of the most famous and visited landmarks in Spain, the Roman Theatre of Mérida is regarded as a Spanish cultural icon and was chosen as one of the 12 Treasures of Spain. It was built as part of an entertainment complex together with the Amphitheatre of Mérida. Nowadays both are part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, which is one of the largest and most extensive archaeological sites in Spain. It was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993.
