Saelices el Chico’s roman villa
Saelices el Chico’s roman villa, Roman villa archaeological site in Saelices el Chico, Spain
The archaeological complex spans 4,800 square meters near the urban center, featuring residential areas with geometric mosaics and garden spaces with an apsed structure.
The site reveals three occupation periods, from an ancient villa of the 1st-2nd centuries through a late Roman settlement of the 3rd-5th centuries.
Archaeological excavations have uncovered more than 23,000 artifacts, including ceramic vessels, glass perfume bottles, and bone hair pins from Roman daily life.
The archaeological site lies on the right bank of Arroyo Grande stream, north of the current town center in the El Polvorín neighborhood.
The residential section contains preserved geometric mosaics and painted plaster decorations that demonstrate Roman architectural design techniques.
