The stretch of the Roman Road of Almargem is located in the town of Lordosa, more specifically in the area known as Bigas, within the municipality of Viseu. This segment of the ancient route is situated in an area that combines urban presence with the natural surroundings, offering a point of contact with the region's past. Its location allows for a direct observation of how ancient routes integrated into the landscape.
This stretch of the Roman Road of Almargem is a palpable reminder of the vast road system built during Roman rule in the Iberian Peninsula. Its classification as a Property of Public Interest underscores the importance of its preservation for historical and cultural memory. A testament to Roman engineering and strategic vision, this path was crucial for the movement of people and goods, connecting different points of the territory and influencing the development of communities of the time.
With an extension of approximately 600 meters, this segment of the Roman road is visible on the ground, tracing a path that crosses a hill. Its structure, though marked by the passage of time, allows one to imagine how it integrated into the landscape. It is possible to observe the point where the route ends, next to an elevation that was altered for the construction of the current National Road 2, demonstrating the superposition of different eras and infrastructure needs throughout the centuries.
