Information
Caesaraugusta River Port Museum

Saragossa was strategically located on the banks of the Ebro River, which made it an important point of connection and river trade in the region. The River Port of Caesaraugusta, in ancient Roman Saragossa, was a vital element for the development and prosperity of the city during Roman times.

The river port played a fundamental role in the transport of goods and people along the Ebro River and served as a link between Saragossa and other parts of the Roman Empire. It is estimated that the port had docks and structures for mooring ships, and possibly warehouses for storing goods.

The Ebro River was a crucial transport corridor, and Saragossa took advantage of its location to establish trade links with other Roman cities. The city exported local products such as wine, olive oil and ceramics, and also imported goods and resources necessary for its population.

The presence of a river port also contributed to economic growth and cultural exchange in Saragossa. The city became a meeting point for people from various regions of the Roman Empire, which enriched its social and artistic environment.

The Caesaraugusta River Port Museum, located near the Roman Theatre offers a detailed insight into life in the ancient Roman city and how the river port played an essential role in its development.

During your visit to the museum you will be able to see an audiovisual projection in which we are shown the intense trade and transportation of goods that was carried out through the river axis of the Ebro River. You will also find a model that represents what the original building was like in the Roman age. In addition, amphorae are exhibited in which food was transported.

If you are going to visit all the Roman museums in the city, we recommend purchasing the voucher for the 4 museums of Caesaragusta, with it you will also have access to the Forum, the Baths and the Roman Theatre.
