Roman Villa La Olmeda
Source

The site of Roman Villa La Olmeda was declared a site of cultural interest on April 3, 1996. It spans two chronological phases: a villa from the 1st century, which was maintained until the end of the 3rd century, and the reconstruction of this villa in the 4th century, until it was destroyed and abandoned in the 6th century. This provides a fascinating insight into the evolution of Roman architecture and lifestyle over several centuries.
