*4.4. The Musealization Project of the N.A.2*

The characteristics of the N.A.2 enclosure, and its uniqueness, state of preservation, and construction chronology, which bring it closer to the moment of the foundation of *Bracara Augusta*, led the scientific direction of the archeological works to assume the importance of its conservation in situ, for later musealization, as it constitutes an architectural construction with unique features.

The enclosure was properly protected to proceed with the excavation works for the ongoing musealization project. With the redefinition of the architectural design of the shopping center, it was possible to delimit and integrate the N.A.2 site into a closed and protected space (Figure 7).
