Below today's city lie a Roman house, a place of worship dedicated to Mithras and the lower wall structure. The site preserves part of a Roman house, the Mithraic temple and the wall foundations; the first-floor exhibition helps distinguish the home from the place of worship. This is preserved archaeology rather than a fully reconstructed home. Check opening and visit options; stairs, levels and routes require accessibility enquiries before booking when adaptations are needed.

Plan this visit
Compare remains with reconstruction
The operator suggests starting at a platform with a three-dimensional explanation of the house. We propose using that image to identify one relationship among the remains, not to imagine the whole house survives intact. Then distinguish domestic use from the worship space and see how the display explains their difference.
Choose individual or guided before arrival
The museum requires booking and at least five adults for a guided visit. Do not assume personal interpretation is included with individual admission. The address is within the pedestrian area, so plan your arrival; if you require adaptations, ask the operator about specific levels and passages.
