Archaeological Park Carranque, Roman archaeological site in Carranque, Spain.

The complex includes three main buildings along the Guadarrama River: a basilica with marble columns, a water facility, and the Villa of Maternus.

Local farmer Samuel López Iglesias discovered multiple mosaic floors in 1983 while working in the fields of las Suertes de Abajo near Toledo.

The site features intricate mosaics depicting mythological scenes, including stories of Athena, Hercules, Diana, and the narrative of Pyramus and Thisbe.

Visitors can access the archaeological park from Madrid or Toledo within one hour by car and contact the facility at +34 647832845 for guided tours.

The Villa of Maternus contained advanced engineering features for its time, including hypocaust heating systems and running water installations.
