Roman Temple and a Necropolis found in Bracara Augusta

[Albino Berenguer]

A Roman Temple from I-II AC and a Necropolis were found in Braga (Bracara Augusta), during excavation for the construction of a tunnel.



Archaeologist say it's a big building with 300 square meters, but the elections are coming and Braga´s Mayor wants to finish the construction of the tunnel without full archaeological excavations, for a proper decision.



The Roman Temple and Necropolis are at risk of being buried or even worst.



The mayor is the same for more than 30 years, in Braga already exist a Roman theater and a amphitheater(Coliseum), waiting for archaeological excavations and further rehabilitation...



Has been created a petition online to "SAVE THE TEMPLE".

We need all the support that we can get, please support “the temple”, and pass the message!



Thanks, best regards.
