Roman mausoleum of Fabara

The rectangular mausoleum measures 6.85 by 5.94 meters, constructed from sandstone blocks held together by metal components without the use of mortar.

Built in the 2nd century AD, this funerary monument contains burial chambers and displays inscriptions referencing Lucius Aemilius Lupus on its pediment.

The structure incorporates classical Roman architectural elements, including four Tuscan columns supporting the entablature and decorative floral motifs along its walls.

The mausoleum stands on the left bank of the Matarranya River and became a protected historical monument in 1931, with state ownership established in 1942.

The inner chambers feature barrel vaults, with a main burial room above and an additional fourth chamber accessed through stairs below the structure.
