Villa romana de Saucedo

The archaeological complex features extensive remains of walls, floors, and residential areas positioned near ancient Roman trade routes in Toledo province.

The villa operated from the first century CE until the eighth century, evolving from an agricultural estate into a palatial residence with thermal baths.

The site transformed during the fifth century when the thermal baths distribution hall converted into a Christian basilica with a baptismal pool.

The regional government allocated 300,000 euros for preservation work, making the site accessible through guided tours from nearby Talavera de la Reina.

Archaeological excavations revealed two thermal bath complexes with cold, warm, and hot water systems following traditional Roman bathing practices.
