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.

Roman remains, local biodiversity, Mediterranean vegetation... These are just some of the attractions offered by this park, where you can lose yourself in nature very close to Mérida.

Reservoirs are the main feature of this natural space.

Come and discover this area of dehesas, or pasture lands, with a Roman reservoir.

In the midst of reed beds, bushweeds and canes, you will find an uncontaminated space where many species of animals live, rest and feed every day.

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.
