A fantastic excavation of a truly amazing Roman Villa. It must be one of the largest villas I have ever seen..It has 3 Peristyles and 3 terraced settings on a gentle slope. Some of the frescoes still visible are stunning and the mosaic made with minute glass tesserae is a first for me. Lastly it has an intact water cistern for collecting rainwater and the only examples I have ever seen of subterranean rooms in the first picture (supposedly bedrooms for use in summer) The only villas I have seen that surpass this are in Pompeii & Herculaneum. If you are in Merida make sure you visit this site.

Puedes entrar a visitar la Casa del Mitreo,abonando 6 euros por persona/adulto o puedes adquirir la entrada conjunta en la cual te incluyen los principales monumentos a visitar en Merida,por tan solo 15 euros por persona/adulto,en la cual te incluye esta visita. La Casa Romana del Mitreo,para preservar su estado,la visitas desde unas pasarelas,que la ves perfectamente y con todo detalle,pero desde arriba. Puedes observar las distintas dependencias de la casa,Peristilo,habitaciones,y patios y observar en el buen estado en el que se encuentran sus mosaicos de las estancias. Se distinguen perfectamente las estancias,a las que hace mencion los carteles,y se pueden observar las termas y los baños de las diferentes habitaciones. Despues de dar toda la vuelta a la Casa del Mitreo,continuas por una filas de Cipreses hacia la zona del Columbario Romano,en el cual se observan diferentes tipos de lapidas Romanas,y puedes leer como realizaban sus ritos,cuando fallecian,y los diferentes tipos de enterramiento,y incineraciones. En el Columbario puedes observar tambien como dato curioso,dos criptas Romanas,en las cuales hasta hace bien poco tiempo,ha vivido gente,un hojalatero y su familia. Totalmente Recomendable!!!

A well set out display of the remains of two large Roman Era houses. The descriptions give a fine sense of how these residences were laid out, and tell where to look to find the traces of wall paintings and mosaic flooring. A few hundred meters away is an area of tombs and funerary objects.

A large working excavation site of a Roman villa, with a few mosaics n situ. The scale is large but unless you are seriously into Roman archeology, I am not sure if the site would appeal to the generic public. It is next to the bull ring so it might be worth having a look at it as well.

This was a wonderful surprise. The house is so well preserved, and the excavations are still on going. Would recommend for sure. When in the city buy the all entrance pack for 16€ or the entrance will be more expensive if you choose to buy at every place.

Some of the best preserved Roman civilisation remains outside Italy. Unearthed near where the temple to the god Mithra is supposed to be located, this aristocratic Roman Villa, contains frescoes, mosaics and a gaze into the daily life in ancient times.
