The Roman circus of Mérida in Spain is a cool ancient racetrack that was like the Circus Maximus in Rome. It's super old, dating back to around 20 BC, and could fit up to 30,000 spectators. Even though it's been around for ages, it's still in pretty good shape compared to other circuses. You can check out the remains and learn more about its history at the museum nearby. So, if you're into Roman history and chariot racing, this place is definitely worth a visit!
