The Roman ruins of Tróia sit on a sandy spit across from Setúbal, showcasing one of the largest known fish-salting complexes in the Roman world. Visitors walk among the stone tanks where garum and salted fish were produced, and see remnants of baths, a necropolis, and workers' quarters. The site's coastal setting adds a haunting beauty, with dunes and the Atlantic nearby. A small on-site museum displays artifacts recovered from excavations.
Don't miss

- View the mosaic floors and hypocaust system in the bath complex
- Visit the museum to see amphorae, tools, and everyday Roman objects
