Bignor Roman Villa, Roman villa and museum in South Downs National Park, England.
The archaeological remains include multiple rooms with intact mosaic floors depicting geometric patterns, human figures, and mythological scenes from the Roman period.
The villa, constructed in the 3rd century AD, remained hidden until 1811 when farmer George Tupper discovered it while plowing his field.
The preserved mosaics demonstrate the technical skills of Roman artisans and reflect the wealth of the villa owners during Roman occupation.
The site opens from March through October, with guided tours available for groups and educational programs designed for school visits.
The villa retains its original Georgian protection buildings from the 1800s, which have preserved the Roman mosaics in their initial location.
