Villa del Val, Roman archaeological site in Alcalá de Henares, Spain
Villa del Val extends over 500 meters with a central palace, gardens, thermal baths, and a cross-shaped funeral mausoleum near ancient Complutum.
The site originated in the first century CE and underwent major renovations during the third and fourth centuries until its Christianization in the fifth century.
The archaeological excavations between 1970 and 1990 uncovered the Victorious Charioteer mosaic, spanning 90 square meters with geometric patterns and horse racing scenes.
The archaeological site remains closed to visitors, but plans are underway to open a new interpretation center at Juncal estate with basic information.
The villa specialized in breeding Hispanic horses for chariot racing, which were highly valued throughout the Roman Empire for circus performances.
