Museu Portugal Romano em Sicó
Museu Portugal Romano em Sicó occupies a historic house and displays items related to Roman history in the region. The rooms feature interactive exhibits, videos, and a 3D replica of the ancient city of Conimbriga that helps visitors understand how people lived centuries ago.
The building dates to the 16th century and underwent renovation between 2011 and 2014 to serve as a museum space. This restoration preserved the house's cultural value while adapting it to meet educational needs.
The name reflects the Roman heritage of the Sicó region. The space helps visitors understand how this ancient past shaped the local culture and continues to influence traditions and identity today.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM and is closed Mondays. It is easy to reach by car via Avenida Bombeiros Voluntários, and school groups should book ahead by email.
The museum won the Heritage in Motion award in 2018 for using technology in innovative ways to share cultural heritage with visitors. This recognition highlights how digital tools help bring Roman history to life in a fresh manner.
