Conímbriga, Roman archaeological site in Condeixa-a-Nova, Portugal.
The excavated ruins reveal an extensive urban settlement with stone walls stretching 1,500 meters, complete with a forum, thermal baths, and residential areas.
The settlement originated in the 9th century BCE as a Celtic settlement before Romans arrived in 139 BCE, transforming it into a prosperous municipality.
The House of Fountains contains preserved floor mosaics depicting mythological scenes, including Perseus presenting Medusa's head to an ocean creature.
The archaeological site opens daily from 10 AM to 6 PM, with admission costing 4.50 euros and free entry for children under 12 years old.
Currently, only ten percent of the ancient city has been excavated, suggesting significant archaeological discoveries remain beneath the surface.
