The Roman Seville below the city.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beneath the famous and controversial Mushrooms of Seville, there is a museum which shows the archaeological ruins that belonged to the Seville of the Roman Empire<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discovery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was in the 90s when it was decided to put a carpark in this area, in Plaza de la Encarnaci\u00f3n.  However, upon the discovery of such an important site the work was stopped and gave way to the construction of a space that included a centre of interpretation for the findings, a viewpoint of the city, and a market with food stalls and restaurants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The museum shows us the remains of roman houses, above all the high quality preserved mosaics which adorn the floor of the rooms.\u00a0The roads which separated them can also be seen, in a way that the visitors can have an idea of the structure of the roads from those distant times of Rome. Along with the houses, a salted fish factory, dating from the 1st<\/sup> Century, is preserved.\u00a0 But this isn\u2019t all, the Arabic Seville<\/a> is also represented here, as the centre has the remains of an Almohade house from the 12th<\/sup> century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
