Villa dels Munts, Roman villa near Mediterranean coast in Altafulla, Spain.

The villa extends over multiple levels with interior courtyards, gardens, and numerous rooms offering direct views toward the Mediterranean Sea.

Built in the first century and expanded in the second century, the villa served as a residence for Caius Valerius Avitus, a high official from Tarraco.

The villa contains preserved mosaics, wall paintings, and a Mithraeum temple, reflecting the refined tastes of Roman aristocracy in Hispania.

The site opens daily from 10:00 to 13:30, with afternoon hours varying by season, and offers guided tours explaining the Roman architectural features.

Archaeologists discovered a seal bearing the name of Caius Valerius Avitus, used for marking cloth produced within the villa's premises.

Location: Altafulla

Part of: Archaeological Ensemble of Tárraco
