ROMAN CULTURE ROOM

AROUND THE MARE NOSTRUM

The exhibition dedicated to the Roman world in the province of Alicante is divided into three blocks:

In this room you can enjoy the synchronised projection on two 18-metre screens of an audiovisual that recreates scenes of daily life in the Roman city of Lucentum, today known as Tossal de Manises, Albufereta.
