Highights

A Roman villa was an isolated building in the countryside, with two distinct parts: the residential area, or parsurbana, and the pars rustica. , dedicated, in this case, to the exploitation of the sea and salting fish, a lucrative activity to which a good part of the Betic coastal settlements were dedicated.

In this town, built in the 1st-2nd century AD, as its mosaic pavements would indicate, we find a sector of the urban pars, or noble area. This area is organized around a porticoed and colonnaded patio, of which the bases are preserved, with perimeter corridors on three sides that gave access to the different rooms. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that it is one of the few examples that exist on the Andalusian coast of this type of domestic space; Although what is notable is the high-quality museum collection, with very diverse themes, that decorates the pseudoperistyle and the adjoining rooms.

The most original pavement is bichrome, black and white, decorated with various culinary instruments and foods that, like a frieze, follow one another forming a panel of unique characteristics. No less spectacular is the so-called Medusa, a polychrome mosaic with a central Gorgoneion surrounded by black and white geometric motifs.
