La Tejada Roman Villa
La Tejada Roman Villa, Roman villa in Quintanilla de la Cueza, Spain.
The archaeological complex contains thirteen rooms arranged along a north-south axis, featuring limestone masonry walls alternating with rows of brick construction.
Discovered in 1970 by local resident Esteban Gonzalo Argüello, the site underwent extensive excavations until 1981, revealing numerous Roman-era structures and mosaics.
The villa displays intricate mosaic pavements depicting mythological scenes, including representations of Leda and the Swan, Neptune, and the Four Seasons.
The site maintains a modern visitor reception building constructed in 2015, offering guided tours and informational materials in Spanish and English.
The villa contains an advanced underground heating system with multiple types of hypocaust structures, supported by brick pillars and connected through subterranean galleries.
