Villa romana de Orpheus, Roman villa in Camarzana de Tera, Spain.
The archaeological site contains fifteen rooms arranged around a peristyle courtyard, featuring detailed floor mosaics from the Roman period.
The villa, discovered in the 19th century during road construction, operated between the 2nd and 4th centuries CE along the Asturica-Bracara Augusta route.
The central room displays a mosaic depicting Orpheus surrounded by animals, with eight cartouches showing horses and their names in Roman text.
The site includes elevated walkways for viewing the mosaics, protective steel structures, and an archaeological center with informative panels.
A second chamber presents a mosaic combining geometric patterns with the Abduction of Europa scene and marine figures in the reception area.
