Ancient Greek and Roman Ruins at Empuries Spain, a little video tour. While in Pals camping, we visited Empuries and the Greek and Roman ruins. This city started back in 250BC with a Greek settlement and later came the Romans along. Empuries was a good trading location and the Romans also wanted to set-up a city there, so the Greeks at Empuries agreed to work with the Romans and they lived in harmony. The Greeks had the location closest to the bay and Mediterranean Sea and the Romans built up higher, above the Greek settlement. There are a massive amount of ancient ruins at Empuries and it is very interesting. You can see the Forum and even the remains of a colosseum! The city walls were also most impressive, but for me, the titles and geometric patters on the nicely mosaic tiled floors in the Roman large house was amazing.
