About the museum
The remains of the Antiquarium appeared by chance during excavations for an underground car park in the Plaza de la Encarnación. Instead of halting the works, it was decided to conserve the site and integrate it into the Metropol Parasol project, the Setas de Sevilla, for which the original design had to be modified. The museum opened in 2011.
The space, of more than 4,500 m², is one of the largest visitable archaeological sites in Seville and brings together more than two thousand years of history, from Roman houses of the 1st century to Islamic remains of the 12th century. The route runs along raised walkways from which visitors can see houses with mosaics, streets, baths with underfloor heating and an Almohad house.
