House of the Mitreo, Roman archaeological residence in Mérida, Spain
The House of the Mitreo contains three courtyards surrounded by columns, with rooms decorated with intricate floor mosaics and painted murals throughout the structure.
Built between the late first and early second centuries, this Roman residence was discovered during construction works for a neighboring plaza in the 1960s.
The Cosmological mosaic within the house depicts the Roman understanding of the universe, showing representations of the earth, sea, and celestial elements.
The archaeological site maintains regular visiting hours from Tuesday to Sunday, with guided tours available in multiple languages for a complete exploration of the premises.
Underground chambers within the house served specific purposes, including a water storage cistern and cooling rooms for use during hot summer months.
