Itinerary
Here, you'll explore a Roman domus dating from the 1st century BC, a Roman residence that has stood the test of time, offering a glimpse into ancient domestic life. You will walk through the different rooms that formed the house: the dining room where the family held their banquets, the reception room where the master of the house welcomed his guests, and the bedrooms, which formed the private part of the house. At the same time, you will be able to admire the beauty of its murals and mosaics, featuring a variety of designs. All of it is laden with profound mythological symbolism.
The journey continues at Cartago Mundi, a cultural hall brimming with Roman history and artifacts, where you're invited to savor wines meticulously recreated from ancient recipes. These exquisite wines, infused with honey, flowers, fruits, and spices, are the result of extensive technological analysis and historical research on amphorae discovered during archaeological digs. Embrace the spirit of Roman banquets and indulge in these ancient delights. To complete your transformation into a Roman citizen, we offer you the chance to don authentic Roman attire. Seize this opportunity for unforgettable selfies and memories, immersing yourself fully in the Roman way of life.

About Cartagena
Cartagena is a Mediterranean port in south-east Spain founded by Carthaginians, with a Roman theatre, a naval arsenal and Modernist buildings.
Cartagena, in the Region of Murcia, was founded by the Carthaginian general Hasdrubal around 227 BC as Qart Hadasht, New Carthage, and later became an important Roman port. Its natural harbour made it a naval base, and it still is one. The Roman Theatre, with tiered seating built into a hillside, was uncovered in the late twentieth century, and a museum leads visitors through to it. The Punic Wall and Roman forum are also on show.
Top-ranked sights in Cartagena: Calle Mayor, Roman Theatre of Cartagena (Teatro Romano de Cartagena), Punic Wall.
