If in the area it is definitely worth a one hour or less visit to learn about how this part of Portugal was important during the Roman empire, especially for the production of olive oil, wine and cereals that were exported throughout the empire. Foodies can learn one things or two from how the Mediterranean diet was widespread in Europe since ancient times. The archeological site seems to be ready to be further excavated and the little museum gives good information about this Roman city.

This complex is a museum, plus outdoor ruins. The museum has many artefacts that were discovered in the area, with reading material plus a video clip about Ammaia. The outdoor ruins though could be better kept, it's almost as if they've been forgotten (I'm assuming not enough funds to do further escavations and keep it tidy). In spite of that, it's an interesting side trip to discover more about this accient Roman city.
For so called uins\ these ruins were in great shape, not ruined at all - however I was expecting to find more romans and ancients in an ancient roman city, but the best I could find were some elderly tourists...
Overall an interesting visit. However the outside of full of tall grass and you need to cross the main road to visit the entirety of the site.
I visited Cidade Romana de Ammaia in November, 2017 while on my bicycle tour of Portugal. It is an incredible place, albeit only 1-2% of the excavation has been completed. The small museum in the building as you enter is excellent, many items on display, funerary grave markers, coins, weapons, statues, glass and pottery. I have loved seeing all the Roman ruins on my bicycle tour; I love the ancient history.
Must see if you’re in the area, amazing work they’re doing here!
it's just nice, no big deal. Do it if you have plenty of time.
Marvelous historical place, easy walk through, very friendly staff.
