Villa del Val, Roman archaeological site in Alcalá de Henares, Spain

Villa del Val is a Roman archaeological site in Alcalá de Henares with the remains of a large residential complex from the Roman period. The site contains building foundations, bathing facilities, and a burial structure that point to the life of a wealthy Roman household.

The estate began its history in the first century after Christ and was used by wealthy Romans who built grand structures. Over time it evolved with expansions and changes, eventually declining as the Roman world transformed in later centuries.

The place tells the story of luxury living through its ruins and decorated floors that reveal how wealthy Romans organized their homes. The mosaics and building layouts show the importance they placed on comfort and display.

The site is currently closed to visitors but work is underway to improve public access and understanding of the place. You can contact local tourism services in Alcalá de Henares to learn about plans for visiting or viewing the remains.

The estate was known for breeding special horses that were used in Roman chariot racing competitions. These racing animals were valued throughout the Roman world and were often traded at high prices.
