From the Plaza de España, follow C/ Sant Eulalia four blocks, through the shopping district and make a right on C/ José Ramón Melida. The Museo Nacional de Arte Romano is opposite the entrances to the Roman theater and amphitheater and a great place to get to know Roman Spain before continuing.
The building was designed by Rafael Moneo Valles, who harnessed natural lighting and utilized local bricks in a manner that pays tribute to Roman techniques; lots of displaced columns and arches towering high overhead are the most predominant features. The ground floor is dedicated to the Roman public buildings, while the first floor is full of Roman pottery, statues such as the goddess Ceres who has lost her hands and nose, mosaics and coinage.
The cripta, or crypt, houses the archeological remains discovered on the site of the museum during its construction in the 1980s.
