Investigating and celebrating Portugal's pre-Roman heritage.

ANCIENT PORTUGAL

Come on a journey back to the ancient past: a time before written records, where all that we know today comes from careful examination of the traces people left behind.

On these pages, you can learn about the thousands of places you can connect with our distant ancestors: walk in their footprints, see the monuments they built, join archaeologists as they discover more about ancient people’s lifestyle.

This website is a work in progress: it’s being built by an individual amateur archaeologist and historian. As I visit more sites and learn more stories, they will be added here. If you’d like to join me on my journey of exploration, subscribe to my newsletter,
