Reviewed By martinezcm - Kansas City, United States
At the latest stages of Roman Spain, 1600 years ago somebody built this enormous 4400 m2 villa. With four tower at each corner it was self sufficient compound in some fields North of Palencia. Discovered in 1968 was uncovered during a few decades and by 1984 it was opened to the public with subsequent improvements including covering the site and above ground walkways to better observe with minimum disturbance to the sites completed by 2009 to it actual form. Enclosed within a modern 7000 m2 building is a very confortable, well organized, and displayed Roman relic, containing one of the largest on site collection of Roman mosaics anywhere. Mosaics contains many design and geometric structures dominate many of the rooms but the crown Jewell is the very large room, the "living room" with one made of small stones "tesellas" depicting the tale of Achilles being discovered from his hiding by Odysseus and also depicting bigger than life hunting scenes on foot and horse back of exotic animals. It it worth taking the tour and then coming back to observe each detail or room including the floor heating systems or the complete system of baths in detail. The place is so far out and away from the roaming tourist crowds that leisurely inspecting is possible. Parking is ample and free, and the personnel is friendly and well informed. The drawback is that it is isolated so food is scarce. It has some eating facilities but during our visit they were closed so the best option is Saldaña. A town 6 km away where some of the artifacts encountered during the excavation of the Villa are also housed in a museum of coins, tools, metal objects,Roman glass vessels etc .

The most attractive feature of Avila. Very well maintained formidable walls. For five euro, you are given access to parts of the upper walls for a great walk.

Numancia is not only an archaeological site, but is also a symbol of resistance and struggle of a people for freedom. Roman writers who were raised the performance of a heroic Numancia giving it a universal dimension.The "Heroic City" takes the long and high hill of La Muela de Garray, from which commands a wide plain, bounded by higher elevations of the Iberian.Numancia is the archaeological site that has brought greater Celtiberian information about the world, being the most extensively excavated.Must visit in the same place where history has fused in the crucible of legend.
