Palace of Maximian Herculius, Roman imperial palace ruins in Córdoba Province, Spain
The archaeological site of Cercadilla contains the remains of a Roman palace complex spanning eight hectares with columns, walls, and preserved mosaics.
Emperor Maximian Herculius constructed this palace between 293 and 305 CE as the political center for governing Hispania and North Africa.
The palace complex transformed through centuries, with sections repurposed into Christian worship spaces during the 6th century, as evidenced by surrounding cemeteries.
The accessible sections of the palace, including baths and the cryptoportico, require prior verification of opening hours due to irregular maintenance schedules.
In 1991, large portions of this Roman palace were demolished to construct a high-speed train station, leaving only fragments of the original structure.
