16.- Archaeology Museum of Catalonia

Description

Empúries was the gateway for Greek and Roman culture onto the Iberian Peninsula. This site preserves the remains of a Greek town - the Emporion colonial enclave - and a Roman town - the former Emporiae - founded in the early 1st century BC above the foundations of a Roman military camp which had been constructed in the previous century.
You must go to see the old stately homes mosaics, the sculpture of Asclepius and the imposing Roman Forum. The MAC-Empúries organizes some very interesting guided tours. The first excavations on the site began in 1908 and since then constant scientific recovery work has been performed. Among the ruins of Empúries you can visit the Greek town, the Roman town and the archaeology museum. During the summer there are dramatised tours as well as tours for families in various languages.
