Vil·la romana dels Ametllers

This Roman villa features a two-tier structure with the pars urbana containing residential quarters, thermal baths, and decorated mosaics, while the pars fructuaria housed agricultural processing facilities for wine and oil production.

Established in the first century BC during the Roman Republican period, the villa reached its peak prosperity between the first and fourth centuries AD before being abandoned during the decline of the Roman Empire.

Archaeological excavations have uncovered daily life artifacts including bone and ivory styluses, ceramics, coins, and brooches that provide insights into the sophisticated lifestyle of the Roman villa inhabitants.

The site operates daily from nine in the morning until seven in the evening with free admission, allowing visitors to explore the ancient remains freely in the heart of Tossa de Mar.

The villa contains a distinctive fountain or nymphaeum with a bathing pool adorned with sculptures crafted from Carrara marble, demonstrating the architectural luxury of this Roman Mediterranean estate.
