Why visit the Odrinhas Archaeological Museum?🏺🚩 /Por que visitar el Museo Arqueologico de Odrinhas?🌎👨🏻🏫
Personally, museums like these are essential for our society, they keep us cultured and teach us much more about the important aspects of the civilizations that inhabited our country in ancient times. The Roman Museum of Odrinhas is designed to capture the attention and visit of a wide social group, aimed at the youngest members of the family as well as adults. The museum is free thanks to the fact that the municipal chamber covers the costs of the visits to promote local tourism, another reason to leave our attendance at the museum. By the way, I'll leave you the coordinates: (38.8871°N 9.3663°W)🧔🏻♂️🧑🏻🎓🧭
En lo personal museos como estos son indispensable para nuestra sociedad, nos mantienen culturizados y nos ensenan mucho mas los aspectos importantes de las civilizaciones que habitaron nuestro pais en la antiguedad, el Museo Romano de Odrinhas esta disenado para captar la atencion y visita de un grupo social amplio destinado para los mas pequenos de la casa como para los adultos. El museo es gratis gracias a que la camara municipal cubre los gastos de las visitas para impulsar el turismo local, otra razon para dejar nuestra asistencia en el museo por cierto te dejo las coordenadas: ( 38.8871°N 9.3663°O)🏺🚩
The museum was opened in 1999 and has a vast documented and registered collection of over a thousand objects from all eras, creating a chronological concept from prehistory to our time. The museum space is comprised of a collection of glass, ceramic, stone, and even metal objects! Where did all these objects come from? An interesting question to answer, all the objects on display in this museum are the product of countless excavations that have been carried out throughout the Sintra area, and others have been donated to the museum by people.🧔🏻♂️🚩🌎
El museo se inaguro en el ano 1999 y tiene una basta coleccion documentada y registrada de mas de mil objetos de todas las eras, creando un concepto cronologico desde la prehistoria hasta nuestra epoca. El espacio del museo esta comprendido por una coleccion de objetos de vidrio, ceramica, piedra, e inclusive metalicos! de donde salieron todos estos objetos? una pregunta interesante para responder, todos los objetos que se exhiben en este museo son producto de inumerables excavaciones que se han realizado en toda la zona de Sintra, y otros han sido de personas que los han donado al museo🏺🏺📸.
We just entered the museum and came across these objects. Some of them are objects used for different types of gambling, such as an ivory dice, and this upper part of a marble column with a decoration that presents a vegetation theme, all dating from the 2nd-1st century BC and the 1st-2nd century AD. I am fascinated by how these objects reflect the interest of human beings in discovering what cultures were like over the millennia. Up to this point we can do the tour independently, but to enter the other rooms we need to go with a guide. I think they leave every hour. You can ask at the reception.
Recien entramos en el museo y nos topamos con estos objetos algunos son objetos usados para diferentes tipos de juegos de apuestas, como por ejemplo un dado de marfil, y esta parte superior de una columna de Marmol con una decoracion que presenta una tematica vegetativa, todos comprendido dentro de los siglos II-I antes de cristo y I-II despues de cristo. Me fascina como estos objetos reflejan el interes del ser humano para descubrir como eran las culturas durante milenios. Hasta aqui podemos hacer el recorrido independientemente pero para entrar en las otras salas necesitamos entrar con un guia creo que salen cada 1hora puedes preguntar en la recepcion.
Incredible, despite the fact that the museum was founded in 1999, a character named (Dom Diego de Sousa) had already begun collecting objects from the Romanesque era and placed them on display in a chapel within the property, being the first person to begin the collection in the year 1490 to 1495, in 1955 another Portuguese scientist named Joaquim Fontes was in charge of carrying out a series of excavations in Sintra to enrich the museum's exhibition.🧭📸
Increible apesar que el museo se fundo en 1999 ya un personaje llamado (Dom Diego de Sousa) habia comenzado a coleccion objetos de la era romanica y los coloco en exhibicion en una capilla dentro de la propiedad, siendo la primera persona en comenzar la coleccion en el ano 1490 al 1495, en 1955 otro cientifico portugues llamado Joaquim Fontes se encargo de llevar a cabo una serie de excavaciones en Sintra para enriqueser la exhibicion del museo. 🚩⛲
We continue our tour of the museum and see some structures that were part of the ancient Roman palace that was in this area, currently there are only two pillars of a temple, behind the museum there is a small Roman villa which we will visit at the end of the tour, the objects that I show you below are part of the era of (high empire) the era of the high empire is between 27 before Christ and 235 after Christ🏺🌎
Continuamos nuestro recorrido por el museo y vemos algunas estructuras que formaban parte del antiguo palacio Romano que habia en esta zona, actualmente solo se encuentran dos pilares de un templo, detras del museo hay una pequena villa romana la cual la visitaremos al final del recorrido, los objetos que te muestro a continuacion forman parte de la epoca del (alto imperio) la epoca del alto imperio se comprende entre el 27 antes de cristo y el 235 despues de cristo🧔🏻♂️🚩
Our guide told us that in the area of Sintra several tombstones or stone objects were collected for funeral purposes or to worship some deity, when we see documentaries about Roman customs we see that they mostly cremated the bodies instead of burying them, however burial was also a fairly common practice, however until the 4th century AD in Portugal there are only records of the practice of cremation and a tombstone was placed in honor of that person with the name and sometimes the date of the "burial" was placed.🧭👨🏻🏫
Nuestra guia nos comentaba que por la zona de sintra se recolectaron varias lapidas o objetos de piedras con fines funebres o para adorar alguna deidad, cuando vemos documentales de las costumbres Romanas vemos que mayoritariamente cremaban los cuerpos en vez de enterrarlos, sin embargo el entierro era una practica tambien bastante comun, sin embargo hasta el siglo IV despues de Cristo en Portugal solo hay registros de la practica de cremacion y se colocaba una lapida en honor a esa persona con el nombre y a veces se colocaba la fecha del "entierro".🌎🧔🏻♂️

This set of coins belongs to the late empire with the exception of two examples from the 2nd century AD. It is believed that in the place where these coins were collected there was an altar, so it is believed that for hundreds of years it was used as a sacred place where coins were thrown in requests to the deities.🧭👨🏻🏫
Este conjunto monedas pertenecen al bajo imperio a exepcion de dos ejemplares del II despues de Cristo, se cree que en el lugar donde se recolectaron estas monedas habia un altar, por lo que se cree que por cientos de anos se utilizo como un lugar sagrado donde se lanzaban monedas para peticiones a las deidades.🚩🏺

In the museum we have the option of seeing some sarcophragms from the time of the Vigoths and later the medieval era, already in this period from the 2nd to the 15th century, our guide explained to us that it is very noticeable how the Romans decorated the tombstones with great effort while already in the medieval era they normally only placed a cross or another symbol making the grave something simpler and not so ceremonious, clearly not applicable to high-ranking characters or of good family caste.
En el museo tenemos la opcion de ver algunos sarcofragos de la epoca de los vicigodos y posteriormente la era medieval, ya en esta epoca a partir del siglo II al XV, nuestra guia nos explicaba que es muy notorio como los Romanos decoraban con mucho esfuerzo las lapidas mientras ya en la epoca medieval normalmente solo colocaban una cruz o otro simbolo tornando la sepultura algo mas simple y no tan ceremonioso, claramente no aplica a personajes de alto rango o de buena casta familiar.
Remains of a Roman villa and temple🏺🚩 /UResto de una villa y templo romano🌎👨🏻🏫
My favorite part is when we finish the tour and see this Roman villa that is next to the museum and that for centuries was inhabited by various people in Odrinhas, it is believed that the records of their establishment in the villa date back to the 2nd century BC and they were here until the fall of the Roman Empire by the barbarians possibly between the 4th and 5th centuries. We see a mill, several house structures and a drainage system, as well as a small fountain in the center of the town. Many objects were collected from this villa that are on display in the museum.👨🏻🏫🧭
Mi parte favorita es cuando culminamos el recorrido y vemos esta villa Romana que esta al lado del museo y que por siglos fue habitada por varias personas en Odrinhas, se cree que los registros de su establecimiento en la villa datan del II antes de Cristo y estuvieron aqui hasta la caida del imperio romano por los barbaros posiblemente entre el IV y el V. Vemos un molino, varias estructuras de casas y un sistema de desague, asi como una fuente pequena en el centro del pueblo. De esta villa se recolectaron muchos objetos que estan en exhibicion en el museo.🧔🏻♂️🚩
This is without a doubt my favorite part of the tour. When we arrive at the ruins we can see a decorative ceramic mosaic that dates back to the Roman era. Imagine being able to admire such a decorative object that is hundreds of years old. Normally these types of decorations are placed in squares or public places or inside the house of an important person.🧭👨🏻🏫
Esta es sin duda mi parte favorita del recorrido cuando llegamos a las ruinas podemos apreciar un mosaico decorativo de ceramica que es de la epoca romana imaginense poder admirar tal objeto decorativo con cientos de anos, normalmente este tipo de decoraciones son colocadas en plazas o sitios publicos o dentro de la casa de una persona importante.🌎🏺
Death in combat🏺🚩 /Muerte en combate🌎👨🏻🏫
This is another iconic piece of the museum full of mysteries and history. It is a skull that was discovered in a grave in Odrinhas which has a combat wound which suggests that due to the type of wound it was a soldier who died in combat in the medieval era.🌎👨🏻🏫
Esta es otra pieza iconica del museo llena de misterios e historia, se trata de un craneo que fue descubierto en una sepultura de Odrinhas el cual tiene una herida de combate lo que sugiere que por el tipo de herida fue un soldado que murio en combate en la era medieval.🩸
