The project “Mosaico – Conímbriga and Sicó” involves an array of Creative Tourism activities based on the valuable Roman Mosaic Heritage present in the geographical axis constituted by the Ruins of the Roman city of Conímbriga, the Roman Villa of Rabaçal, and the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda. The project spans three municipalities: Condeixa-a-Nova, Penela and Ansião.
The project is headquartered in the “Monographic Museum of Conímbriga – National Museum” – an important center for archaeological research, conservation, and restoration of Roman Mosaics. This project organizes cultural and creative activities within the museum, interpretative centers, and archaeological sites in its program of action. It promotes active visitor experiences that involve learning about the Roman Mosaic Heritage and affirming this as an expression of creativity brought into the present and reinterpreting it now and for the future.
The Roman Mosaic Heritage present in this territory is an important artistic and cultural testimony of different moments of Romanization in Portugal – rich in materials, techniques, decorative motifs, images and narratives – all inserted in a Cultural Landscape to be discovered.
