Very nice exhibition, definitely worth an hour or two to learn about the center of the ancient city, actually located few meters below the present-day city...
Absolutely wonderful museum, with a raised walkway over the excavated Roman town. Excellent written descriptions in Catalan and Spanish and English. Modern art was placed around the Roman ruins when we were there. It was great.
A fantastic experience. A professionally recreated construction is unearthed and presented with academic archeological precision. My knowledge and perspectives of old Roman culture in these parts was enhanced clearly. The English translations were a great help. I spent two hours here but I could easily have spent two weeks here absorbing the atmosphere. The admission was 6.50 euro and cheaper than the municipal underground parking a short distance away.
Nice museum. It could be more interactive and it is a shame that during a visit on 2nd September 2023, we learnt that 2 of 4 sites of the whole museum are closed and another one only opens on certain Sundays of the month. Good point is that you could use your ticket for one year.
A must visit I’m my opinion for travellers to Barcelona. Phenomenal Roman civilization remains right underneath Badalona. You get to explore the ruins and go through the museum of all the artifacts they found. One of the best museums I have ever visited. It took us 2 hours to explore and get through it. Be aware of the afternoon siesta hours when planning your visit. And best of all this place was not busy and run over with tourists!! Such an enjoyable visit!
What a hidden gem. This is one of the most incredible museums I have ever been to. Not busy at all, you don't feel rushed or overwhelmed by the mass amounts of people similar to Barcelona. You can truly take your time and really examine and take it all in. For only 6.5 € worth every cent. Be aware of mid day closing. Give yourself enough time to truly enjoy it. Actual roman ruins of a once bustling community.
If Pompeii is your thing, visit this museum. My daughter moved to Badalona and lives nearby so I was able to visit easily. Nothing on the outside of the building gives a clue as to what's inside. A beautifully excavated Roman town below the level of the city with clear signage as you walk through that explains each building below and its context.
You will view Badalona differently after you visit. A lot of fascinating history here.
