Most of the theatre is actually outside the museum building under a huge canopy. An exhibition describes what bits are what and what it would have looked like back in the day. It's very well presented.

Sanch needed a coffee before we moved on to the Museo de las Termas Publicas de Caesaraugusta, just across the square. There was a short film, in Spanish, before we had a look around. There's not really much of the baths left to see that is original but still it's interesting.
Another short walk away, was the Museo del Foro de Caesaraugusta. There's nothing to see at ground level but down a few flights of stairs, there are foundations of the forum and porticos to be seen. There is also a large intact piece of the sewage system and you can walk in the sewer.

Across the square is the massive Basillica del Pilar. We had a scoot around inside half of it, the other half is gated off by 2 large wooden gates, before returning to the square.
By this time, it was about siesta time, which also makes it Sanch's lunch time, so we found a cafe and sat down in the shade. It is currently 36 degrees.
