Go back in time by walking through the Roman Bracara Augusta.
It is thought that the region of Braga got its name because it has been inhabited by the Celtic Brácaros. But in 27 BC the city was founded with the name Bracara Augusta to pay homage to the Emperor August and to the Brácaros . It became the headquarters of the monastery, and later the capital of the Galécia Province; it was under roman domain and administration until the arrival of the Suevos in the 5th century. A considerable amount of remains from Bracara Augusta can still be seen today – mineral springs, various buildings, roman baths, swimming pools with mosaic tiles. Every year, in May, Braga recreates the daily life and habits of the ancient roman town with parades, street events, shows, markets and a lot more. In May you should say: “in Braga, be a Roman”!
Themed tours are guided by a professional local guide, they vary depending on the time of the year and its events, aiming to provide a more personal experience of traditions and habits of this old city.
