When I was living on the East Coast of the United States, we visited historic sites that went back 300 to 500 years or so and that was old. Now, I know what old really means. This is the Roman amphitheater of Mérida, Spain and it goes back about 2000 years. There are lots of things around these southern Spanish towns that old and older. In this case, it is sad to think of all the violence and killing that went on in this location. Not all of the so-called monuments represent positive human values.
