Archaeological site of Cercadilla
Archaeological site of Cercadilla, Archaeological site in Córdoba, Spain.
The remains of a Roman palace complex extend across two hectares, featuring thermal baths decorated with painted murals and intricate architectural elements.
The palace, constructed during the late 3rd century AD, served as a headquarters for Emperor Maximianus Herculeus during his visit to Spain.
The site demonstrates the transition from Roman to Visigothic periods through its architectural evolution from an imperial residence to a Christian basilica.
The archaeological site contains areas with preserved Roman thermal baths, decorated with white paint and red vertical and horizontal bands.
Chemical analysis of the murals reveals distinct construction methods between Roman and Arabic periods, with Roman samples containing ceramic fragments for enhanced durability.
