    A hidden gem in the middle of the south Alentejo. Very nice place to visit in less than one hour.

    Anyone with any interest in Roman times should visit this site. The main building is a monument to someone's vanity. The site is fairly large. Information is limited but enough to explain what can be seen. Simão the cat was on hand to keep order. Modern scaffolding is used to support some of the structure which at first sight is a little off putting. However, the wooden framework under the arches is almost the same as would have been used by the builders. If it's wet, take suitable shoes. The grass is quite long in places.

    A large building in relatively good condition for its age. Not impressed with the receptionists aggressive dog or the cat that follows you round that bit my wife. But well worth visiting

    We didn't expect to see Roman ruins on our way to Lisbon from Evora.

    While checking vineyards, on a wine trip in the south of Portugal, I stopped by the Roman ruins. The staff, incredibly pleasant and accommodating, played me an in-depth introductory film in the site’s auditorium. I was then taken to the ruins themselves, were I was strongly mesmerised with imposing structures and fascinated by the overall backdrop, the pathway, and the landscape design. The ruins were so much more than I had anticipated. Amazing Roman buildings from the first to fourth centuries still stand robust and majestic in the landscape. Following the path, and the inner structure check, full explanations were available. I highly recommend it; it was a fantastic experience overall.

    Amazing remains of a Roman villa in the middle of rural Alentejo. Happened to be in the area, and a quick Google search found this place just north of Beja. It is worth the drive and small entrance fee (€3). Has a temple, bath complex, and vaulted cellars. The best preserved areas were repurposed as a medieval church, decorated with frescoes from the 17th century. Visited on a Saturday morning and there were very few people there. If you visit in summer, be prepared for the sun and heat.

    Interesting place to visit (if you are into Roman ruins). Unfortunately, there is some lack of infrastructure. It would be best visited if there were more information available on the site...

  • 5/5 Antonio V. 3 years ago on Google
    Incredibly preserved Roman villa

  • 5/5 David C. 5 years ago on Google
    Not so much a museum, more a massive Roman Ruin site. VERY impressive in scale and stae of preservation.
