El Vergel roman villa, Roman archaeological site in San Pedro del Arroyo, Spain.

El Vergel is a Roman villa site covering about 40 hectares on both banks of the Espinarejo, northeast of San Pedro del Arroyo. Its excavated palatial core has rooms with polychrome geometric mosaics, including a peristyle mosaic of rhombuses. The site also contains later Visigothic burials.

The first record of Roman remains here is a letter of 1 April 1905 from Fausto Rico to Manuel Gómez-Moreno, reporting three mosaic fragments, six tombs and millstones; the finds entered the founding catalogue of the Museo de Ávila. In 1930 Antonio Molinero Pérez rediscovered the site, and surveys in 1992 mapped its roughly 40 hectares. Legal excavations began in 2002, and the palatial core has been dug since 2006 under Rosalía Serrano Noriega.

The mosaic floors found here carry geometric designs such as the rhombus pattern of the peristyle and the braided guilloche drawn in Fausto Rico's 1905 letter, not mythological scenes. The site also preserves Visigothic burials, including six tombs found in 2002 beside the N-501 road.

The site is open to visitors who can explore the remains from different angles and perspectives. Comfortable footwear is recommended, and you should prepare for changing weather depending on the season.

Visitors can see the houses in their original grandeur through technology, as digital reconstructions and installations show how the rooms once looked in ancient times. This offers an unusual view into daily life during that period.
