Casa de Hippolytus, Roman educational complex in Alcalá de Henares, Spain

The Casa de Hippolytus features thermal baths, latrines with marble seats, and multiple pools arranged around an enclosed courtyard for educational purposes.

This third-century Roman structure served as one of the few known educational centers for young aristocrats in ancient Hispania under the patronage of the Annios family.

The central mosaic, created by teacher Hippolytus, displays Mediterranean fish species and was used as an educational tool for students during Roman times.

Located next to Ciudad Deportiva El Juncal, the museum opens Tuesday through Sunday with free admission and guided tours available throughout the year.

The site contains a mineral water spring and an oriental garden that included imported species such as Lebanese cedars, pines, oaks, and exotic birds.
