Caesaraugusta Forum Museum, Zaragoza

2 Plaza de la Seo, Zaragoza, Aragón

Description

The Caesaraugusta Forum Museum displays the remains of the forum of the ancient Roman city of Caesaraugusta. Old foundations, parts of the walls and sewers have been excavated. Utensils used in daily life and other decorative artefacts are also displayed.

Access & Transport

The museum is in the historical district of Zaragoza, next to La Seo cathedral and 300m from the 'Plaza España' tram station. The museum is in fact under the basement of the Plaza de la Seo with the entrance at ground level through a prism of Iranian onyx plates.

Instructions & Recommendations

There is a combined ticket for the Caesaraugusta related museums grouping the theatre, Forum, Fluvial Port and Thermal Baths: https://www.zaragoza.es/contenidos/museos/museos_ccesp.pdf

Meta review

The museum gets good reviews overall and is described as being the most extensive of the 5 amongst the 'Museos de la Ruta de Caesaraugusta'. Visitors do find the content very educational, properly explaining the set-up and infrastructure of the site during the Roman period, but there are recurring comments that translation in other languages is scarce and that it is of limited interest for those not inclined towards history and archaeology.

Environmental & Social

Low environmental impact. Educational and helps preserve the architectural and historical heritages of the city

Conclusion

Comparatively larger than its Theatre Museum sibling, the Forum Museum is possibly less impressive visually - because of that we think it is to be recommended mostly to those keen on archaeological sites although visitors with broader cultural interest will still find it worth 1h of their time.

Key positive

Good exhibits to complement the ruins

Educational

Key negative

Very incomplete ruins

Lacks translations

Suitability

Accessible to visitors with reduced mobility
