The Roman ruins of Ammaia are located in São Salvador de Aramenha, between Castelo de Vide and Marvão, Alentejo, Portugal.

Ammaia was a huge Roman city located in this same place in the 1st century A.D., which flourished thanks to plenty of farming products of the place (especially the wine, the oil and the cereals)

The remains of this city were found in the 19th century, although the important excavations did not start until 1994.
