It is estimated that the ancient Roman venue could have been capable of accommodating around 5,000 spectators.
A large Roman venue that hosted horse-drawn chariot races in antiquity has been discovered in northern Spain.The outline of the venue, known as a circus, was identified during aerial investigations at the site of Iruña-Veleia, an ancient Roman city now located in the Álava province of the Basque Autonomous Community.
The Roman circus would be the third known from the northern half of the Iberian Peninsula, which was known in Latin as Hispania. The two other examples in this region are found in the ancient settlements of Tarraco and Calagurris .In addition to the circus, the investigations at Iruña-Veleia detected the presence of several other buildings and urban infrastructure beneath the surface of the site, which shed new light on the ancient city.
