The Complutum Museum showcases the archaeological site of the Roman city that preceded modern Alcalá de Henares. Visitors can walk through the excavated forum, thermal baths, and residential areas, admiring well-preserved mosaics and learning about urban planning in the 1st–3rd centuries AD. The on-site museum displays artifacts found during excavations, including pottery, coins, and tools, offering a vivid glimpse into Roman provincial life. Its distinctive feature is the combination of an open-air archaeological park with an indoor exhibition space, making it a unique window into the region's classical heritage.

  • The remains of the forum basilica and the public baths with hypocaust heating
