The National Roman Art Museum (MNAR) shows the visitor different sides of daily life in the province of Hispania.

Its collection has made this museum one of the most important of its kind.

The collection of Visigoth pieces in this museum brings together relics from Mérida from the 4th-8th centuries, as the capital of the Diocesis Hispaniarum and as the metropolitan capital of the province of Lusitania

The Museum of the Town of Mérida houses a collection on the Mérida-born sculptor and other pieces that take one on a route through the town's history.

This reservoir, which has the reverse cycle to other Mediterranean reservoirs, is a meeting point for birds throughout the year.

Find out how the town of Mérida developed from Roman times to the Visigoth era.

Mérida's Roman past is still very obvious from the many monuments remaining, reflecting life in one of the Empire's provincial capitals.

The town of Mérida contains one of the most important archaeological sites in the world, of which the Roman theatre forms part.

Mérida was supplied with water by three main aqueducts in Roman times. One of them was the one called Rabo de Buey, or also San Lázaro.

This partially preserved massive aqueduct was one of the large works at Emerita Augusta for supplying water to the city.
