Villa Romana del Tellaro

The Villa Romana del Tellaro extends across 6,000 square meters, featuring residential rooms arranged around a central peristyle courtyard with detailed floor mosaics.

Discovered in 1971 beneath a 17th-century farmhouse, this 4th-century Roman villa served as an agricultural estate for grain, olive oil, and wine production.

The floor mosaics display scenes from Homer's Iliad, including the ransom of Hector's body and depictions of Ulysses, Achilles, and Diomedes.

The archaeological site maintains wheelchair accessibility throughout its premises and received 9,710 visitors during the 2020 calendar year.

The central room contains a Bacchus mosaic with fruits, satyrs, and maenads, while another room presents scenes of hunting and outdoor banquets.
