Norba Caesarina, Roman archaeological site in Cáceres, Spain
The archaeological remains of Norba Caesarina include granite stone walls, thermal baths, water cisterns, and sections of the ancient Roman forum beneath Mayoralgo Palace.
Founded in 34 BC by Roman proconsul Caius Norbanus Flaccus, the colony flourished until the 5th century when Germanic invasions led to its abandonment.
The site features the Cristo Arch, the only surviving Roman gate of the original four entrances, constructed with characteristic Roman architectural techniques.
The archaeological site integrates with the current city center of Cáceres, allowing visitors to explore Roman foundations beneath medieval structures throughout the old town.
Recent excavations at Mayoralgo Palace revealed a complete Roman thermal complex with intact water systems and forum structures from the High Imperial period.
