Roman villa of Camino de Albalate

The archaeological site contains three distinct chambers, including an entrance area decorated with plant motifs and braided patterns on the floor.

Antonio Bielsa Alegre discovered the Roman villa in January 1964, following the establishment of Roman Calanda by Tito Didio after defeating Celtiberian Kolenda.

The central room displays intricate mosaics featuring various animals such as horses, boars, panthers, lions, donkeys, and leopards in dynamic poses.

The mosaic collection, consisting of over 1.2 million tiles, underwent restoration from September 2017 to January 2018 at the Provincial Museum of Teruel.

The semicircular third chamber, believed to be a dining room, contains geometric bands with diverse patterns created through detailed mosaics.
