Villa of Torre de Palma

The villa of Torre de Palma is located about 5 km northwest of Monforte on the main road to Vaiamonte [1]. The remains of the villa were discovered in 1947 and until 1956, excavations were conducted under the direction of the Portuguese archaeologist Manuel Heleno [1]. The chronology of the various periods of the villa ranges from the 1st to the 5th century [1]. In addition to a large residential complex, a thermal complex was discovered to the east, and a building north of the main building may also have been used for residential purposes [1].
