La Olmeda, Roman villa archaeological site in Pedrosa de la Vega, Spain.
The villa features a square layout with four angular towers, octagonal in the south facade and square in the north facade, surrounding a central courtyard.
Discovered in 1968 during agricultural work, the site reveals two chronological phases: an initial villa from the 1st century and a 4th-century reconstruction.
The villa contains extensive floor mosaics depicting mythological scenes, including the discovery of Achilles by Ulysses and detailed hunting sequences with various animals.
The archaeological complex is accessible via a road from kilometer 55 of the CL-615 highway near Gañinas de la Vega, with guided tours available.
The villa preserves over 700 tombs from different periods, with artifacts displayed at the monographic museum in the Church of San Pedro in Saldaña.
