Overview
Guides Tours led by freelance guides with over 14 years of experience, history graduates, and with official guiding licences.
The Roman city of Complutum is one of the star archaeological sites of the Community of Madrid; with almost 50 hectares of extension, it is located a few minutes walk from the historic center of the current Alcalá de Henares.
Our tour will take you through the orthogonal layout of its centuries-old streets to know its origins and the first human settlements in the Vega del Río Henares until its last moments of life before the definitive abandonment of the city, back in the s. VIII AD
We will visit the remains of all the imposing public buildings that were built around the Imperial Forum, and we will understand how and why the Roman civilization acquired all its power through a complex network of cities that communicated with each other through a network of roads that even today does not cease to amaze us.
