Villa Rusticsa, Roman villa ruins in Walldorf, Germany.
The rectangular complex spans one hectare, featuring a central hall, residential areas, and service buildings enclosed by substantial stone walls.
Construction of the villa began around 130 AD and continued until approximately 260 AD when the Alamann invasions led to its abandonment.
The remains demonstrate Roman architectural principles through its hypocaust heating system and two-story design with specialized functional spaces.
Archaeological artifacts from the excavations are displayed at the Kurpfälzisches Museum in Heidelberg and the Heimatmuseum in Wiesenbach.
The villa's location near an ancient road connecting Ladenburg and Heidelberg indicates its role in regional Roman transportation networks.
