Área Arqueológica do Freixo, Archaeological site in Marco de Canaveses, Portugal.
The archaeological complex spans 50 hectares, featuring Roman structures including residential areas, baths, a forum, and a necropolis from ancient Tongobriga.
The site contains ruins dating from the 1st century BC, representing a pre-Latin settlement that later integrated into the Roman Empire through cultural transition.
The Tongobriga Interpretive Center presents exhibitions demonstrating the transformation of local inhabitants' lives after joining the Roman Empire.
Visitors can access the site Tuesday through Friday from 9:30 AM to 5:30 PM, with entrance fees of 3 euros for adults and 1.50 euros for seniors.
The ancient Roman ruins lie beneath the current village of Santa Maria do Freixo, with archaeological elements spread across both populated and excavated areas.
