  • 5/5 Fatares 6 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Seeing the cover, from the street, it will confuse you, but you should know that under that cover you have neither more nor less than two blocks from the Roman City of Carthago Nova from the 1st century BC. About three meters below the current level of the street, there are the remains of the Roman baths and the so-called Casa del Atrio. Elevations of walls of several meters (walls of up to 4.5 meters in the Atrium building), remains of frescoes or painting in some of the rooms are preserved. The block is bordered by well-preserved Roman roads. The rehabilitation has been magnificent and respectful with the minimum intervention criteria of the new archeology. It is like a small Pompeii, since it allows us to know what Roman baths and houses were like from 2,100 or 2,200 years ago. Perfect also to go with family. (Original) Viendo la cubierta, desde la calle, te despistará, pero que sepas que debajo de esa cubierta tienes ni más ni menos que dos manzanas de la Ciudad Romana de Carthago Nova del siglo I antes de Cristo. A unos tres metros bajo la cota actual de la calle, están los restos de las termas romanas y la llamada Casa del Atrio. Se conservan alzados de muros de varios metros ( paredes de hasta de 4,5 metros en el edifico del Atrio), restos de frescos o pintura en alguna de las habitaciones. La manzana está bordeada por calzadas romanas muy bien conservadas. La rehabilitación ha sido magnífica y respetuosa con los criterios de intervención mínima de la nueva arqueología. Es como una pequeña Pompeya, puesto que permite conocer cómo eran las termas y las casas romanas de hace 2100 o 2200 años. Perfecto también para ir en familia.

    Visited Cartagena a few times, but never went to this museum before. And during our last trip we decided to finally spend some time in this museum. We saw great peace of history, part of original roman road and building. Learned some more about their advanced skills to that time. Thank you!

    We stumbled onto this wonderful site by pure chance. It is a large covered area protecting an ancient Roman bath house. You can still see the different rooms, courtyard and under ground heating area in this ruin. Utterly fascinating and well preserved.

    (Translated by Google) Very interesting and well placed archaeological remains. They should control the mosquitoes in some way as we have left with more than 5 bites. I think the entrance is a bit expensive. (Original) Restos arqueológicos muy interesantes y bien puestos.

  • 5/5 Daniel B. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very nice the murals and the explanations. What a pity that the Romans did not take more care of their houses, because everything is falling to pieces. If my mother sees it, the shoe they wear is cleaned instantly. (Original) Muy bonitos los murales y las explicaciones.

  • 5/5 Tracie P. 2 years ago on Google
    Very interesting walk through exhibits and pottery displays. The exterior area really gives you a sense of what it was like to inhabit and be a merchant during the Roman era. For the nominal fee this place its definately worth a visit.

  • 5/5 Claudia I. 1 year ago on Google
    Well preserved history. Walking on the same pavement stones as the Romans did and finding out how they lived. How impressive!

  • 5/5 Vadim S. 1 year ago on Google
    An eye candy for the lovers of Roman archeology. Roman Curia, temple of Isis, Atrium and thermae where you can clearly see how the Roman baths worked (and the parts they consisted of.) Carefully preserved mosaic and elements of colorful wall decorations. Totally worth the money and time spent. Also don't miss the free archeological park up the hill.

  • 5/5 Igor F. 1 year ago on Google
    Attractivly restored and presented Roman buildings with lots of artifacts. Some of the frescos are among the oldest in the world.Take your time as the ruins are pretty big.

  • 5/5 Ashley W. 1 year ago on Google
    Fantastic, walk through museum. Beginning in a conventional sense before taking through the forum itself. Wonderful how they have integrated the modern and ancient. Probably unsuitable for those of unsure footing, so take a helping hand! The forum paving is 1800 yrs old! If you've got wheels, they have you covered, with lifts on all the stairs. Allow a couple of hours to experience it all.

  • 5/5 David C. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent value for entry good information about the site only one suggestion it's not Very well sign posted for the entrance to the site needs more signs from the main Street

  • 5/5 Ken S. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Elias C. 6 years ago on Google
    Very interesting place, unfortunately some parts have had to be rebuilt, maybe a bit too much. Cheap entry for the sight. It's good that we could get up close to the ruins. Well worth checking out if your in the area.

  • 5/5 Barbara 4 years ago on Google
    Pure history even if you can't touch it. Ruins are quite big with cats hidden under these. Kind of pricey but visualizations can help you to be more satisfied of the visit. Allows to better understand the place if you go first to remains of the altar on the hill.

  • 5/5 Anne H. 4 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Patrick B. 7 years ago on Google
    Worth a visit of you are interested in Roman history. An English audio guide would be really welcome. Notice that part of the site is still a work in progress and it cannot be accessed.

  • 4/5 Maxine H. 4 years ago on Google
    A really good introduction to the history of the city. An incredibly accessible site and great value for money. Some very well preserved areas and others sympathetically restored to give an idea of the original site. The majority is under cover which provides some much welcome shade on hot days. Information boards shown in English and Spanish which was very helpful. A great way to spend an hour.
