Titania is a fossil museum in Riodeva dedicated to the prehistoric dinosaurs of this region and part of the Dinópolis network. It displays a full-size replica of the Turiasaurus riodevensis alongside exhibits about rock layers, fossil formation processes, and the environment from around 150 million years ago.
The area around Riodeva gained prominence through the discovery of the Turiasaurus riodevensis, the largest dinosaur ever found in Europe. These findings gave the town scientific importance and established it as a key center for understanding dinosaur evolution and extinction.
