The ruins were first mentioned by André de Resende in the 16th century, who also associated them with the toponym. The original settlement developed into a city in Roman times, and was occupied until the Early Middle Ages. The Forum occupied almost the entire area of the previous settlement, and around it, a commercial area was developed. The two Balneae or Thermae, set side-by-side, are among the best preserved in Portugal. Relatively close to the baths, there is a bridge with a single arch. The Circus is located further from the center, approximately 500m to the south. Nice place full of history and surprisingly quiet. There is a small museum section with several remains and information and then you can tour the outside area. Well marked and nice to walk on. Just don't expect to see any large high-rise structures. Very extensive Roman ruins of what was evidently an important town. It's also a lovely setting on a hilltop. The excavations have progressed since our last visit. A bit more information from the office and better maps would be helpful. From the outside it appears small but a magnificent surprise awaits you once you start your exploration. A pity that thus beautiful archaeological site is not more widely known. Pensioners pay a mere €1.50 and it is certainly more than worth it. I did not expect it to be so cool. There were no crowds, we are free to roam around and imagine long forgotten history. Very beautiful, serene place. We even witnessed ongoing archeological excavations. View from forum is mindblowing and termas very well preserved. Romans certainly knew how to build cities. Outstanding hidden roman gem 300km trip was worthy of experience, if you want a 4 leaved cloverleaf no further Best romantic roman experience ever Very unfriendly staff. Strict regulations. Only speak portuguese. Your not allowed to walk outside on the paves there between 12-14 hrs. Completely mad. Should change their behavior! A group of twenty people was sent away. Should get none foundation anymore! Loved it. Hidden gem. We were the only people visiting at the time. Had the whole place to ourselves. Amazing to get up so close the historic structures. This places would been heaving of it was in the UK.
