Fuente Álamo, Archaeological site near Puente Genil, Spain

The Roman Villa of Fuente Álamo sits on fertile land crossed by a stream, featuring ancient structures and preserved mosaics spanning several periods.

Construction of the villa began in the third century AD and remained inhabited until the sixth century, with later Islamic occupation until the tenth century.

The site contains a tetraconque hall with mosaics depicting the Nile river god and scenes of pygmies and cranes in exceptional detail.

Guided tours of the archaeological site cost 5 euros and provide access to preserved Roman structures, ancient mosaics, and ongoing excavation areas.

The villa includes one of the best-preserved Mithraic temples in the Iberian Peninsula, later modified for Christian worship during the Roman period.
