Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The “Roman City of Ammaia”, is located in the Alentejo, in the parish of “São Salvador da Aramenha”, who belongs to the city of Marvão, Portalegre district. The Roman ruins of Ammaia are the ruins of an ancient Roman city, the settlement was probably founded at the end of the first century BC, at the time of Augustus, located in a valley in the heart of the “Serra de São Mamede” Natural Park. In his time, "Ammaia", in the Roman province of Lusitania, possessed an administrative territory that encompassed a large part of the current district of Portalegre and which also extended to today's Spanish territory. Identified and studied from the mid-1930s, its ruins are classified as a National Monument since 1949. To visit you have enough parking space in front of the building where you are entering for the visit and who contains also various ancient objects, the biggest part of the visit is made on the outside.

A very interesting excavation. This Roman site is still being uncovered and is very much a work in progress. However it was possible to get a good idea of the size of the original settlement.It would be helpful if more of the story boards/ explanations had English translations so that we could have learnt more and understood more.They have some interesting exhibits in the attached museum.

This site is in a rural part of Portugal with beautiful vistas of mountains and fields. A very serene place to visit after seeing a lot of cities in Portugal. It is an early site but the amount that they have uncovered and the size of the area is impressive. Not for everyone who wants to see the Forum style ruins like in Rome but for history buffs, it has great potential and is located in a beautiful part of Portugal.

The Cidade Romana de Ammaia is not far from Morvão, so if you're in the area, you might want to visit. Personally, I was disappointed. The small museum is quite interesting, but a lot of the items on display are reproductions. The weather was not good, with heavy rain, which is not the best for walking around an archaeological site where all of the pathways were not paved, which meant walking around guaranteed wet feet. There is not a lot to see in reality. Port Sul, South Gate, is the only section with any remains above ground.

We went there. You have to pay to get in, not much though. But there is really not much to see. There are many other Roman sites that are much more interesting. Not worth the effort.

Worths a 1-2 hour visit to see the remains of an old Roman city and the small entrance fee contributes to the discovery of much more stuffs in the area

The archeological site at Ammaia is astounding. It is in its infancy, of course but you must understand that this is a hidden city of 5 to 6 thousand people almost 2,000 years ago. The staff were helpful and interested in what they are doing. The video is shown in your language (ours was English) and is VERY informative.

3 euro admission. Museum artefacts were all in Portugese, but film was in English. Site a bit underwhelming, but they have active digging going on

It was a kind of disappointment. The museum was closed but we visited the ruins. Although the reconstructions are good, the ruins are not always very well preserved. But I enjoyed seeing it anyway.
