Roman Villa of Sendim

A Roman villa rustica in Lugar do Agrelo, Sendim, Felgueiras, discovered in 1992 during house construction. Occupied from the 1st to the 6th century AD, the villa was structured around an inner peristyle courtyard with compartments paved in polychrome geometric mosaics using yellow, black, red, and white tesserae. A major phase of restructuring and expansion occurred between the late 3rd and late 4th centuries, when larger baths were added. Classified as a Public Interest Property in December 1997, the site has been musealized with mosaic fragments preserved in situ.
