Housed in one of the most representative examples of civil architecture in Renaissance Lisbon, the Museum of Lisbon - Casa dos Bicos features a long-term exhibition area that includes archaeological ruins with remains from various periods, some dating back 2,000 years.
Schedule
A display of unpublished data on the site's occupational evolution between the Roman period and the present day
Through the musealization of some archaeological structures found in various campaigns carried out in this area since 1981, the exhibition presents unpublished data on the site's occupational evolution, allowing us to learn about various phases in the evolution of this part of the riverfront, between the Roman period and the present day.
From the Roman city of Olisipo, traces of a fish preparation and seasoning factory are revealed, probably installed in the 1st century AD next to the river beach.
A section of wall and tower with a semicircular plan also documents the defensive reinforcement that the Roman cities underwent from the end of the 3rd century onwards and, through other archaeological remains, it is clear that, in this location, the medieval wall layout integrated the old Roman wall.
