Cartagena Augusteum Ticket

Cartagena Augusteum Ticket

Discover the secrets hidden in the temple dedicated to the first Roman Emperor, Octavian Augustus, with our Augusteum ticket. You'll learn about the cult of the emperor, the theatrical ostentation and the elaborate performances staged by the priests. 

This ticket will grant you access to the entire complex, which consists of a porticoed entrance courtyard and a central hall where the image of the emperor was placed. On either side, there are two nymphaeums where we suspect the fountains were positioned, two rooms related to worship, and finally, two shops independent of the building.

As you tour the Augusteum Museum, you'll see the remarkable wealth exhibited in the ornamental displays, which was intended to show the splendour of the period. Some examples of this are the pavements and walls covered with marble from the Roman Empire's quarries, and an impressive set of terracotta antefixes.
