Augustobriga

Augustobriga is a Roman archaeological site near Bohonal de Ibor that reveals stone foundations, columns, and building remains across multiple hectares. The excavations near the Tagus River show the layout and organization of an ancient settlement.

The settlement developed during the Roman Empire as an important administrative center and trade hub on the Iberian Peninsula. Its significance was reflected in the infrastructure built to connect different regions.

The ruins reflect how Romans organized their daily lives and community spaces in this region. You can see the different types of buildings that served various purposes, from commerce to residence to public gathering.

Access to the site is through guided tours departing from Bohonal de Ibor between April and October. Comfortable shoes are recommended since the excavations are spread across a large area.

Roman temple porticos at the site were relocated before a reservoir was built to preserve them. This rescue effort allows visitors to see one of the rarer architectural features from the Roman period in this region.
