Martyrium de La Alberca, 4th century archaeological site in La Alberca, Murcia, Spain.
This rectangular mausoleum measures 12 meters in length and 7.60 meters in width, featuring five buttresses on each exterior wall and a crypt beneath.
The archaeological site, discovered in 1832 during water tank construction, represents one of the most significant late Roman monuments in the Iberian Peninsula.
The Martyrium includes a crypt with four limestone tombs and an apse, indicating early Christian practices and the transition from pagan to Christian worship.
Located on Calle de la Paz in La Alberca, approximately 5 kilometers south of Murcia city, near the mountains of Carrascoy and El Valle.
The crypt floor originally displayed a polychrome geometric mosaic, with parts now preserved in the Archaeological Museum of Murcia.
