Aula Arqueológica de Uxama

The Aula Arqueológica de Uxama is a museum or interpretation center located in El Burgo de Osma (Soria), at the foot of the site of Uxama Argaela, in the area of Alto del Castro and next to the river Ucero. Its function is to introduce visitors to the history of this archaeological site and to serve as a prelude to a visit to the Uxama complex, one of the most important Celtiberian sites. The space presents, by means of panels, models, recreated environments and audiovisual resources, the evolution of the settlement of Uxama from its Arevaic or Celtiberian origin to the Roman stage and the medieval presence. Also on display is the reconstruction of a Roman house and a virtual theater that recreates scenes of daily life in the Roman city. Uxama was a Celtiberian-Roman city of great strategic importance, located on a hill that dominated the territory and the valley passes. Heritage sources indicate that the Roman city developed over the ancient Areva settlement and that the archaeological site was destroyed and reformed in different historical stages. The classroom is part of the municipal cultural offer of El Burgo de Osma and complements the visit to the site itself and to the interpretative space of Antiqua Osma, in the old Hospital of San Agustín. Its main interest is informative and archaeological, bringing together in a single resource the historical memory of Uxama and its territorial context.
