Roman Museum

Astorga has many remains from Roman times (it was the old "Asturica Augusta") which are housed in this interesting museum, located in the heart of the city. The museum is in the Roman building called "The Ergastula" which was fully renovated and expanded with the construction of two brand new floors. The building is listed as a National Monument. The exhibition includes important findings from the archaeological excavations that constitute the history of the city. Open on weekdays (except Monday) from 11.00 to 14.00 and 16.00 to 18.00 and holidays from 11.00 to 14.00. Admission is € 2.50. Just opposite is also another vestige of this era, Romana Square, where you can find the Domus del Mosaico.
