7Conímbriga in Portugal

Conimbriga was an important Roman urban centre in what is now Portugal. Although the city was not the largest in Portugal, it certainly has the best-preserved Roman monuments.

From the ground, archaeologists have excavated a large number of ruins of residences and residential houses that have been renovated many times and date back to the 1st century BCE. To this day we can see beautiful floor mosaics or murals that adorned Roman houses. Among the most interesting objects is a mosaic from the so-called Swastika House. On the floor mosaic, he can see symbols in the shape of a swastika, which in ancient times was to bring happiness and prosperity.
