Link profile: Museo Nacional de Arte Romano


Category: Start / Spain and its Regions / Extremadura / Badajoz / Mérida
The word "Mérida" comes from the town's Latin name, Emerita Augusta, given when it was refounded by retired (think emeritus) legionnaires in 25 BC. It was to become one of the most important cities in the Roman Empire, the capital of the province of Lusitania, so its Roman remains are substantial to say the least. The "Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida" is a World Heritage site for that reason, and has a bridge, forum, amphitheatre, theatre and circus, a villa, aqueduct and much more. The purpose-built National Museum of Roman Art is unmissable, one of the most interesting and entertaining museums I have ever been round.
