Discovered in 1968 by a local farmer who was tilling his fields in preparation for seeding, the ruins of the RomanVilla La Olmeda date back to the latter part of the 1st century A.D. Systematic archeological work began in 1980 and culminated in 2010 with the opening of the current permanent building and exhibits. The mosaic floors are among the most vivid, intricate and intact that we have ever seen including Italy, Sicily and Greece. Views and explanations are enhanced by interactive technology and social history which bring both function and structure to life.
