Römische Villa Loig, Roman villa in Wals-Siezenheim, Austria.

The Roman Villa Loig extends across 170 by 70 meters and features connected workshops within its expansive palatial structure near Salzburg.

The villa was discovered in 1815 during Bavaria's brief control of Salzburg, with initial excavations conducted by archaeologists from the Bavarian Academy of Sciences.

The villa contains a remarkable Theseus mosaic depicting the defeat of Minotaur, measuring 6.36 by 5.50 meters, now displayed at the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna.

Visitors can explore the archaeological site marked by a Roman stone, with informational stations explaining the social and economic aspects of Roman times.

The name Loig derives from the Latin word 'leug', referring to the warm baths Romans installed in their houses in this region.
