Roman ruins of Villa Cardillio, Archaeological site in Torres Novas, Portugal.
The Roman ruins of Villa Cardilio stand on a cultivated plain near the Almonda River, featuring a large peristyle surrounded by twelve columns.
Archaeological excavations initiated in 1962 revealed hundreds of coins, ceramics, bronze works, and glass artifacts from ancient Roman times.
The villa contains geometric mosaic pavements and figurative panels that showcase the architectural preferences and artistic skills of Roman inhabitants.
The archaeological site lies 3 kilometers from Torres Novas center and maintains regular visiting hours for research and educational purposes.
The water collection system incorporated into the villa design served both irrigation purposes and cooling functions throughout the residence.
