Bryan | Exploro Ergo Sum
December 9, 2025, Conímbriga Roman Ruins

Conímbriga, an ancient city of Lusitania, is the most impressive Roman complex in Portugal, a place where history still breathes among its baths, forum, amphitheater, and uniquely delicate mosaics, such as those in the famous House of Fountains. Although only a small part has been excavated, the grandeur the city held throughout its almost six centuries under Roman rule is evident. The second wall, hastily erected with stone taken from entire buildings, reveals a time of threat and decline, a prelude to the abandonment that followed the Suebian invasions. Today, among fallen columns and pavements that still gleam in the sun, Conímbriga continues to intrigue and amaze, preserving in its ruins the stories that time has almost erased.

A riverside hike with the Évora group of hikers, between Rabaçal and Coimbra. Beautiful scenery on a route of approximately 29 km.

Cominbriga, a space where we can get an idea of what it was like to eat in times gone by. Learn from the past to better live in the present.👍
