Conimbriga Monographic Museum

The mission of the museum is to protect the ruins of Conimbriga, promote their exhibition and conduct archaeological research; its collection is exclusively composed of archaeological material found in the city. The current exhibition displays everyday objects organised by theme and evokes the monumental forum, the rich domus, the vigour of Roman trade, the religion and creeds of the Romanized population and the Sueve and Visigothic presence. The mosaics, which have been preserved in situ, form a vast and invaluable collection that is highly appreciated by visitors. The Casa dos Repuxos (Fountain House) boasts a mosaic floor of around 569 m2, important vestiges of mural painting, and a unique central peristyle garden with a lake and jets of water.
