Quite an achievement to hide an archaeology site as well as this! The entrance is very deceptive, a bit like a modern glass house until you realise you have been walking over the canopy of the dig below. Inside the friendly staff will spend time explaining the background if you wish or you can watch the short video presentation. Once you have perused the displays on the ground floor, you can descend into the basement where the real fun begins. The dig extends much further than you might expect from outside the building, and the artefacts on show are superb. Entrance is only two euros for quite a unique experience.

Lovely experience. Don't rush through the exhibits. Read the explanations and visualize the history. They try very well to make you imagine how things were. If you like museums and history go in.

It was nice worth a shot but wasnt so interesting. Entry fee is 2€

We had discount with carnet Jove, very small but nice stones if you are into stones.

Don't turn back when you see the outside of the building, do explore inside the building its blow your mind.. the admission is FREE, all you need just register at the counter and you free to enter.

Worth a visit. From the outside it may look closed, but just walk in. The entrance is super cheap, only 2€ per person which makes it a no brainer to visit if you have any interest in roman history of Valencia itself. The site is incredibly well maintained and everything is indoor + airco. All info signs are also in English. The 'water roof' is also a very nice touch.

An excellent experience, which will indulge you into Valencia's centuries long history. It is breathtaking what lies underneath the surface of today's city. Everything is nicely prepared and described. We have also loved the clean way how the modern architecture of the premises meets respectfully the ancient remains.

(Translated by Google) Interesting archaeological center to see the old Valencian civilizations: from Rome to the present day, passing through Visigothic or Islamic Valencia. It is also interesting how you can see the different levels of the cities, the reconstructions made with video montages, the 2 impressive columns of the ancient Roman forum, the small pond created on what were the Roman baths ... there is a bit of everything. The pity is that the excavation could not continue because it would touch the foundations of the basilica and the cathedral ... because it must follow the story down there. Admission is free, although I do not know if it is only at this time. (Original) Interesante centro arqueológico para ver las antiguas civilizaciones valencianas: desde Roma hasta la actualidad, pasando por la Valencia visigoda o la islámica. Interesante también cómo se pueden ver los diferentes niveles de las ciudades, las reconstrucciones hechas con videomontajes, las 2 impresionantes columnas del antiguo foro romano, el pequeño estanque creado sobre lo que fueron las termas romanas... hay un poco de todo. La pena es que no se pudiera continuar la excavación porque tocaría los cimientos de la basílica y de la catedral... porque debe seguir la historia por ahí abajo. La entrada es gratuita, aunque no sé si es en esta época solamente.

Nice little museum right in the middle of old town. In an modern building, unspectacular. Most of it is underground, excavations preserved, bits of Valencia thousands of years ago. The museum is a bit dark, narrow, corridors, glass floors, stairs, tight passages. I imagine in the summer crowds it could be stuffy and cramped. Lots of broken ceramic, clay pots everywhere, not very interesting. Two skeletons are interesting but no idea who those folks were or how they got there. One broken white pot looks detailed, beautiful, but the rest are boring. They have large posters trying to give a sense of what main street looked like original stones, patterns copied on the poster. A nice touch. But the rest is rather simple and plain. Museums, in general, struggle to help our imaginations put ourselves in these streets, washing in those pots. Like stories, movies, paintings...museums understand if it's not about us, if it's not personal, if we can't empathize, we're not really interested. This one doesn't get there, needs to try harder. Perhaps a movie, perhaps dioramas... Cost is only 2E (less than a coffee), free on weekends, so it's worth all of that, if you have time in the city.

(Translated by Google) Something of culture never hurts, and in this case, a quick museum to see and right in the center of Valencia, ideal for a quick visit and to learn something new. (Original) Algo de cultura nunca viene mal, y en este caso, un museo rápido de ver y en pleno centro de Valencia, ideal para hacer una visita rápida y aprender algo nuevo.

Valencia is a great city. The Centre Arqueològic was very surprising. It is great that they conserved this place. The way you can walk through the ruins and the good information they give is great

Nice place, free admission.

Very nice museum. Descriptions are also available in english. Personal ist very friendly.

Really interesting site with super good information on Valencia's origen. Even though small, have plenty to learn. Some of the sites have a digital reconstruction of how different buildings were supposed to have been

A museum hidden under the famous cathedral of valencia. It is quite interesting to know the facts about the moorish and christian influences of this archaeological site. It is also free so add this to your itinerary if you like to explore museums!

Productive day to the kids today. We studied the history of the antique Valencia.

Wow! Wonderful museum and free entry. Shows all the Roman history of Valencia in a really interesting way. The ruins are covered in glass walkways fie a perfect view below ground. Highly recommended.

(Translated by Google) An unmissable site (Original) Un sitio imperdible

2€ or free on some days. Great ruines. Mostly translated in English. Lockers available. Come in and have a quick look around.

Wow this place was a fabulous find. It an achalogical dig back thousands of years ago, there’s some amazing roads, paths, buildings, there video and well as plaques so you can really see what it would have looked like. We went on a Thursday in July and it was free. It was spotlessly clean, staff were friendly but didn’t speak English but we got by with our best Spanish and finger pointing. All information was written in Spanish and English which was brilliant. There were steps and ramps so I’m pretty sure a wheelchair and pushchair could get around. There were toilets but no cafe. Definitely worth a visit, I will definitely be taking family when they come to visit.

Frankly speaking I had more expectations before visiting this place than this museum can offer. Here you can find some archeological findings from a city square. The only interesting part was that visitors have a chance to “participate” in archaeological excavations. The glass floor and the artifacts that lie nearby help to “transport thoughts” to ancient times. Unfortunately, there is no signpost in the museum, so it is difficult to guess where a starting point is.

Don't want to spoil your visit, just go and you will not be disappointed

The way they have surrounded the historical foundation of the city give it even more emphasis. The arab and roman ruins are subsequent and you can see how well preserved is this place.

I really wanted to visit this place and I was glad I did. It was a nice set-up and everywhere some small information points.

Interesting and worth a visit. However, it’s hot and musty in there. When we came out we felt physically ill and my wife said that she saw mould on the ceilings. They definitely need to improve the air circulation.

(Translated by Google) Museum of Roman archaeological remains of the city of Valencia (Original) Museo de restos arqueológicos romanos de la ciudad de Valencia

It was a very interesting journey back in time to the early days of Valencia as a Roman city.

Not to be missed! Nicely done viewing of old Roman excavations that are informative and interesting and allow you to basically walk around and on top of the excavation site. All in a nicely done environment with English info too. And the best part of it it is usually not busy at all and is really inexpensive. Highly recommended!!

I absolutely loved this place. As a big lover of archaeology and Roman history, being able to walk around and over such well preserved and detailed structures was fascinating.

A nice little Museum about Valéncia’s rich history.

Being born and raised in Bulgaria I m not new to Roman and Greek ruins. However when they are so nicely restored and preserved I get immediately fascinated. The story of the city unfolds in front of you in a spectacular way there. Totally worth visiting provided the entrance is 2 euro

Fantastic . I don’t know why more people don’t visit this truly fascinating underground museum. It has incredibly well preserve ruins from -100AD to the 12th century. The interpretation boards outline what each foundation was, how it was built, what it used to look like. It’s fascinating to see how each generation built their town on the ruins of their predecessors. It’s only 2€, free with the Valencia card, the building is air-conditioned, and there was nobody else there when we visited at about 11am. .

Really impressive Roman and Muslim remains, in a very small area, underneath the glass fountain. Also free on the Valencia tourist card.

Great museum of rooman era. Free woth tourist card

Very informative, with nice and clear explanations. A good place to immerse în Valencia history. There was no admission fee (quite surprisingly).

As someone else mentioned, it looks closed from the outside so don't be deterred by appearances! It is a beautiful space, combining the modern architectural glass roof with the remains underneath which creates water reflections on the remains. The remains themself are impressive and give the visitor an insight into Valencia's ancient history. And all for only 2€. Excellent value and worth a visit

Valentia is one of the oldest cities of Spain and the center of Roman Valentia can be found under the ground just behind the Basilica. The Roman Forum was discovered when plans were made to enlarge the basilica. Today you can visit parts of the Roman Forum, houses and streets in the museo dell´Almoina. With different maquettes and films, you can visualise how the city would have been. It has all been shown in a very interactive way, but due to covid some of the screens are not accessible but given the free admission it still is worthwhile the visit.

We arrived with less than an hour before closing time, so admittance was free. We didn't get to see everything and look forward to going back. Walk along the ruins of Romans and other cultures to learn a bit about what life there was like a thousand years and more ago.

Excellent archeological museum, surprisingly large, also with English explanations. There are reconstructive videos everywhere. It’s a pity only part of them works. Nonetheless one of the most memorable museums in Valencia!

Great museum, a definite must see for just 2 euros per person

Super interesante. Vale la pena de visitar y aprender un poco sobre la historia de valencia.

Para conocer una ciudad es bueno saber su origen....y aquí comenzó Valencia!!.. muy interesante.

Vraiement un petit bijoux de valencia, se trouve dans ce musée très peu connu, les restes d une ancienne ville romaine (150 avant jc) reconstitué, avec des maquettes et vidéo en 3d montrant comment c etait, vraiement agreablement surpris, j ai adoré y j y retournerai (gratuit en aout 2020), elle fut detruite 70 apres sa construction ce qui explique peut etre sa bonne conservation ?

Lugar impresionante. Con visita guiada mucho mejor

Amazing walk through Valencia's layers of history. Definitely worth going. We went on a Sunday when entrance is free, and it was not too crowded.

Very interesting and well laid out remains of the old city, the 3D diagrams are really useful to give you a sense for what you are looking at. Free entry on Sunday.

Superb Roman remains set in an excellent museum setting

Definitely worth a visit 2000+ years of history on display

Full of Roman history. If you like history you have to get there!!!

Interesting and detail history of Valencia. A good place to relax and learn.

This is a magnificent archeological site. The presentation isn’t always perfect but I consider this site a must-visit part of a trip to Valencia. Is the point of archeology to balance our permanence of the present to the evidence of the past? I don’t know. But the uncanny array of the levels of civilization on display at this amazing site helps give a sense of what’s come before in progressive layers of excavation. I’m amazed that this site isn’t higher on lists of “must-do” when in Valencia.
