I visited Cidade Romana de Ammaia in November, 2017 while on my bicycle tour of Portugal. It is an incredible place, albeit only 1-2% of the excavation has been completed. The small museum in the building as you enter is excellent, many items on display, funerary grave markers, coins, weapons, statues, glass and pottery. I have loved seeing all the Roman ruins on my bicycle tour; I love the ancient history.

Very dusty place to visit. The ruins are OK, well preserved, but the soil to walk is very loose, so it is a little concerning to people with respiratory issues (wear a mask). I went for the 9th FIMM Festival, and the place is also not so good in acoustics to perform a concert. The evening view of Marvão, though, is super romantic!

If in the area it is definitely worth a one hour or less visit to learn about how this part of Portugal was important during the Roman empire, especially for the production of olive oil, wine and cereals that were exported throughout the empire. Foodies can learn one things or two from how the Mediterranean diet was widespread in Europe since ancient times. The archeological site seems to be ready to be further excavated and the little museum gives good information about this Roman city.

An interesting place to visit. The tickets are cheap, so it is good to help and support this kind of places. The museum is not the biggest one but it has the essential to make it interesting. On the outside we can find the roman ruins and it could be better explored. There is such a vast area but the digging places are very few and not so well preserved.

We went on a very rainy day in September and it was deserted. We watched a good film about it inside the museum and discovered it was an extremely important Roman settlement. There is an awful lot of excavation work to be done here. I think a lot will be discovered! A fascinating place

This complex is a museum, plus outdoor ruins. The museum has many artefacts that were discovered in the area, with reading material plus a video clip about Ammaia. The outdoor ruins though could be better kept, it's almost as if they've been forgotten (I'm assuming not enough funds to do further escavations and keep it tidy). In spite of that, it's an interesting side trip to discover more about this accient Roman city.

Overall an interesting visit. However the outside of full of tall grass and you need to cross the main road to visit the entirety of the site.

It has the potential to be so much more. Poorly explored and maintained. A real pitty.

Nice place with Roman ruins, we were only outside and after openning hours - you can just walk around at any time.

We've been visiting Marvão for years and had never stopped at this place. Ruins are mostly foundations, some the towers of the south gate are preserved. The museum has a nice collection of daily use items and some jewellery and coins

The museum is worth visiting. The outside ruins are poorly maintained. It lacks maintenance and information.

there should be more maintenance on the grass and the roots better highlighted for people to walk around. besides that, an amazing experience to live

Interesting place to visit if you like your history. You have to visit the museum which at 3€ each is good value. There is lots of artefacts to see and there was an interesting video about the sit (in English with Portuguese sun titles). You have to use your imagination but when you see the video it must have been an amazing place in Roman times. Well worth a visit.

Wonderfully mysterious place. Great stories told by the caretaker, Mr António Raposo. A pity the authorities don't give this space enough importance. A roman city divided by a busy road, without even a zebra crossing. Great findings in coins, artifacts and statues... But the latter are in the British museum.

Great place to spend a few hours using your imagination on how life must have been in Roman times. There is a fee to enter, 3€ per person. In the museum you’ll see fascinating artifacts such as pottery, jewelry, coins, glass ware, headstones and such. You also get the opportunity to explore the area outside where excavation started in 1995. So far they have uncovered parts of the Roman baths, forum and South Gate. Really enjoyed this experience.

Amazing to find the ruins of such a large Roman settlement, so under the radar. We just happened to see it on a map, and asked for directions at a gas station. You can walk around various areas of what used to be the town, and see ruins of the main gate, baths and forum, which are pretty cool. It is an interesting site, and there appears to be current archaeological work being done. There's also a nice museum with recovered artefacts of Roman life, and a short movie in English (the exhibits are mainly in Portuguese). Definitely more than worth the 3 euro entry fee!
