Arco romano de Beja, Roman archaeological site near Castle of Beja, Portugal.
The Arco Romano de Beja features classical Roman architectural elements with columns integrated into the medieval castle walls near the main tower.
Built between the third and fourth centuries, this triumphal arch marked an entrance to Pax Julia, the Roman settlement that became modern Beja.
The structure represents the influence of Roman engineering and architectural practices in the Lusitania region of the Iberian Peninsula.
Located at coordinates 38.01708, -7.865512, the arch connects to a defensive wall section that surrounds the medieval castle's main tower.
