The University Museum A Domus do Mitreo is a museum in Lugo, Spain, built on the site of the Pazo de Montenegro next to the Roman walls[1]. Archaeological excavations uncovered a Roman domus that was partially rebuilt during the Lower Roman Empire to serve as a Mithraeum, a private temple for Mithraic worship[1]. The significance of these archaeological remains prompted a redesign of the museum building to preserve and integrate the ancient structures into the new facility[1].
