We wanted to go to Merida in Extremadura this week. It's where there are important Roman remains, and the journey is about nine hours by car. We couldn't do it, we had to be in Zaragoza, so we went to see a bit of late-Roman; the crypt of the church of Santa Engracia. It's right in the commercial centre of the city. On the outside it looks like this:
And in the crypt they've got these two fourth century Roman sarcophagi. They are for various martyrs: called innumerable but actually eighteen, I think. The biggest names are Engracia and Lamberto.
