In January, the highlight was the guided tour of the Roman Theater in Portuguese sign language. Among sculptures, ceramics and architectural elements, this visit reveals the impact of this monument on the urban development of the city and invites you to enjoy a privileged view over the River Tagus.
For more details, see the program.
This section reveals one of the most important monuments of the ancient Roman city of Felicitas Iulia Olisipo: its theater, dating from the 1st century AD. In addition to the archaeological site, it includes a long-term exhibition area housed in two buildings from different periods, which simultaneously hosts temporary exhibitions and presents a monthly program.

Rituals of Light: the radiance of Our Lady of Candeias
Light has always been with us, even when we didn't know how to make, preserve or use it. The history of mankind, our history, is made up of light and its absence, and everything we do conforms to this premise.
This small exhibition looks at the evolution of objects used to illuminate our lives, from the lamps of Roman times and the 8th century to medieval lamps, culminating in the electric bulb and LED strips.
Through a series of pieces, we follow the technical, aesthetic and symbolic transformations of these objects, reflecting changes in lifestyles, the materials used and the relationship between societies and light.
Opening: February 3 at 18:00. Free entry, subject to capacity.
Opening hours: Tuesday to Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00

The Roman city

The meeting point is the Roman Theater, where comedies and tragedies were performed on festive days, and then we head down the hill.
Target audience: over 12 years old
