Came upon this place while waking through Lisbon. The history is wonderful, but the site isn’t much to see. They have done a good job of protecting the ruins and painting the outside beautifully. I’m not sure if it costs anything because I was able to just walk in.

Interesting Museum, showing Roman ruins. Great viewpoint where yout can sit outside and enjoy views over lisbon, kinda halfway up if you are walking the whole way to Castelo de Sao Jorge. Good point to rest if you are unfit like me, Lisbon is lovely but full of hills

Not much to see on the archeological site. If you have been to Turkey, Greece, Jordan... This teatro romano won't be interesting. The Roman amphitheatre is only worth of if you have time and never been to anything similar. Is not well preserved.

Rosenborg Castle

Rosenborg Palace was built in the period 1606-34 as Christian IV’s summerhouse just outside the ramparts of Copenhagen. Christian IV was very fond of the palace and often stayed at the castle when he resided in Copenhagen, and it was here that he died in 1648. After his death, the palace passed to his son King Frederik III, who together with his queen, Sophie Amalie, carried out several types of modernisation.

The last king who used the place as a residence was Frederik IV, and around 1720, Rosenborg was abandoned in favor of Frederiksborg Palace.Through the 1700s, considerable art treasures were collected at Rosenborg Castle, among other things items from the estates of deceased royalty and from Christiansborg after the fire there in 1794.

Soon the idea of a museum arose, and that was realised in 1833, which is The Royal Danish Collection’s official year of establishment.
