The ruins of this ancient villa are located at the mouth of the Verde River, on the outskirts of Marbella. It dates back to the 1st and 2nd centuries AD, and it has been known about since the mid-18th century, although the excavations didn't began until the 1960s, when the archeologist and historian, Carlos Posac and Fernando Alcalá, discovered a part of the villa. There is an internal courtyard with lots of columns and a dozen rooms. The mosaics on the floors of the old villa, featuring sea and culinary motifs and faces, are truly magnificent. You can take a free guided tour on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays at midday.
