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.

Reservoirs are the main feature of this natural space.

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