This is a huge cathedral-like building that seems out of proportion to the contents. What's there is fairly interesting but it seems swamped by all the empty space around it. More

The museum is in a spectacular brick building which looks newer than it is. The exhibits were well presented with English explanations of the history of the Roman period of Merida which was very important as the capital of Lusitania.
