Villa Fortunatus

The residential complex extends over 350 square meters, featuring a central garden courtyard with a fish-decorated pond and stone column bases.

The initial construction dates from the second century, with major renovations and expansions occurring during the late third and early fourth centuries.

The floor mosaics display both Roman and early Christian symbols, including representations of Venus, Eros, and the Chi-Rho monogram with alpha and omega letters.

The archaeological site stands 5 kilometers north of Fraga's center, with several original mosaics preserved at the Museum of Zaragoza.

In the fifth century, builders incorporated a paleochristian basilica into the western wing, making it one of Spain's earliest Christian churches.
