Ancient Roman forum district, Cartagena, Roman archaeological complex in Molinete, Cartagena, Spain

The Ancient Roman Forum District contains preserved remains of temples, thermal baths, and administrative buildings from the Roman settlement of Carthago Nova.

General Publius Cornelius Scipio captured this strategic Mediterranean port in 209 BC, transforming it into a major Roman trading center with extensive urban development.

The Sanctuary of Isis within the complex demonstrates the religious practices and ceremonial traditions that shaped daily life in Roman Carthago Nova.

The archaeological site operates on seasonal schedules, with extended hours from July to September and reduced hours from November to March.

The Colonial Forum features an ornate Curia building where the local senate conducted meetings and organized ceremonial processions through decorated corridors.
