Roman ruins of Quinta da Abicada, Roman archaeological site in Alvor, Portugal.
The Roman villa features two distinct peristyles with a hexagonal and square layout, showcasing architectural elements from ancient Roman residential complexes.
Constructed between the 1st and 5th centuries AD, the villa belonged to the Roman colony of Ipses in the province of Lusitania.
The geometric and floral mosaic floors throughout the rooms display craftsmanship using grey, red, white, and blue stone tesserae.
Located on a promontory eight meters above sea level, the site spans 2000 square meters and requires advance booking for guided tours.
Archaeological findings indicate the villa produced garum fish sauce in salting basins, connecting it to maritime trade activities.
