- 2Stop 2The journey continues at Cartago Mundi, a cultural hall brimming with Roman history and artifacts, where you're invited to savor wines meticulously recreated from ancient recipes. These exquisite wines, infused with honey, flowers, fruits, and spices, are the result of extensive technological analysis and historical research on amphorae discovered during archaeological digs. Embrace the spirit of Roman banquets and indulge in these ancient delights. To complete your transformation into a Roman citizen, we offer you the chance to don authentic Roman attire. Seize this opportunity for unforgettable selfies and memories, immersing yourself fully in the Roman way of life.
