Villa Romana de Veranes, Roman villa archaeological site in Gijón, Spain

The Villa Romana de Veranes extends across four terraces covering one hectare, featuring ancient residential structures and agricultural facilities at 150 meters above sea level.

The Roman settlement originated in the early centuries CE and remained active until the fifth century, when it transformed into a Visigothic church with medieval tombs.

The archaeological museum displays collections of Roman artifacts, including ceramics, metal tools, personal objects, and a 50-square-meter polychrome mosaic with Solomon's knot patterns.

The interpretation center welcomes visitors from Tuesday to Sunday between 10:30 AM and 7:00 PM, offering audiovisual presentations and permanent exhibitions about the excavation findings.

Archaeological excavations revealed this site as the only extensively studied Roman settlement along the entire Cantabrian coast, providing insights into regional Roman life.
