Museo Nacional de Arte Romano

Museo Nacional de Arte Romano in Mérida transforms Roman archaeology into a sensory experience, thanks to Rafael Moneo's award-winning brick building. Its 50,000-square-meter interior houses over 19,000 artifacts, including statues, mosaics, and everyday objects from ancient Augusta Emerita. The open-plan design, with its massive arches and natural light, creates a spatial dialogue unmatched by other archaeological sites. This is the definitive destination for Roman Iberian heritage.
