It is located on the late Roman necropolis excavated years ago.In addition to the necropolis, which is probably the structure that gives the museum the most character, the collection of funerary epigraphy, one of the best in Spain, deserves a special review.
No less important are the Roman mining sections, with a varied typology of products, tools, and utensils from that time, or that of ceramic productions, mainly tableware, which testify to the intense commercial traffic that the port maintained from the 2nd century on.
