Museu Monográfico de Conimbriga

Museu Monográfico de Conimbriga is an archaeological museum in Condeixa-a-Nova that displays finds from the Roman city of Conimbriga, including preserved mosaics, sculptures, coins, and household objects. The collection documents how people lived and worked in this ancient city.

The site developed from a Celtic settlement after 138 AD into a Roman city with a forum, aqueducts, and public baths. This transformation shows how Roman culture shaped the region and changed the way local people lived.

The exhibition shows objects that reflect daily life, religious practices, and social structures of the Roman and pre-Roman periods. Visitors can see how people lived back then and what role religion and hierarchy played in society.

The museum is located on Rua Professor Vergílio Correia and is open daily with the last entry in the late afternoon. Visitors should plan enough time to explore the exhibition and the adjacent archaeological site.

The museum displays a reconstruction of the Flavian imperial forum, which illustrates the ceremonial practices and architectural elements of Roman rule. This model helps visitors understand the political importance and grandeur of the original structure.
