Just above the Riviera's bow and across the bay is the Sub Dock.	We got a good view of the doors of the Sub Dock entrance.

13-Apr-2022 / Roman theatre in Cartagena
This sign actually directed us to the Museum of the Roman theatre in Cartagena.	The map showed no connection to the Roman theatre, so we went up the steps on the side.

Here we found a billboard with this photo. I have added in red the path we followed.


WHAT a VIEW! We were told we could get to the top following a path around the side of the ruins. Many stairs later and with the help a family, also going up, we were at the top of the Roman theatre.

In the center of this photo you will see the remains of the Puerta de Osario.	The Roman theatre in Cartagena viewed from near the Castle of the Conception.

	Leaving the Roman theatre heading for the Castle of the Conception. (Seen above)

Entrance to the walkway to Castle of the Conception.

	We were greated by several Pheasants. The tourist did not scare them.

With each Pheasant there were several mates just out of sight.	We found an elevator was available, No more steps to walk down.

	Back on level ground, it was just a short walk back to the Riviera.
