Museo del Foro de Caesaraugusta

The Museo del Foro de Caesaraugusta in Zaragoza displays the underground archaeological remains of the Roman forum of the ancient city of Caesaraugusta. You enter through a prism-shaped entrance made of Iranian onyx panels beneath the Plaza de la Seo. The exhibition shows finds from two different eras: from the city's founding under Emperor Augustus in the first century B.C., you can see a market, a sewer system, and water pipes. Remains of the municipal forum, additional channels, and foundations date from the reign of his successor, Tiberius. The forum stood at the edge of the river port and served as an economic and social hub. Visitors gain an insight into daily life in the city in the first century A.D., shortly after its founding.
