Condeixa-a-Nova

The largest Roman ruins in Portugal, about 2 km south of Condeixa-a-Nova. There are also some hiking routes of varying length starting from the ravine-side of the ruins, with maps and direction markers provided. In the autumn you may also sample the fruits of the wild strawberry trees growing along the hiking paths. The site has many beautiful, well-preserved mosaics. The visitors' centre displays artefacts excavated by archaeologists, including coins, tools, and ceramics. Although the area was settled by other people groups as early as the 9th century BCE, the Romans arrived around 139 BCE.

This museum at the Conímbriga ruins site seeks to preserve and exhibit Roman artefacts excavated here.

Through of exhibits in 11 thematic rooms, interactive displays, and handheld multimedia guides, PO.RO.S shows the history of the Roman Empire and its settlement in Condeixa, Conímbriga, and surrounding communities (the Terras da Sicó).
