Ruínas Romanas de Milreu, HWW

Ruínas Romanas de Milreu, HWW
Opulenta villa do Império Romano ocupada durante a Antiguidade tardia e os primeiros tempos de domínio do Islão. Nos inícios do século IV era uma luxuosa residência senhorial, termas, lagares de azeite e de vinho e instalações agrícolas, revelador do estilo de vida de uma família de elevado estatuto social e político. Integra este conjunto um templo cristianizado no século VI e usado como cemitério no período islâmico até ao século X, que se mantém conservado até ao arranque das abóbadas Entre os achados arqueológicos encontram-se mosaicos de temática predominantemente marinha, mármores e cerâmicas diversas, estuques pintados e esculturas que decoravam os interiores e os jardins.

Opulent villa of the Roman Empire occupied during the late antiquity and the first times of the dominion of Islam. At the beginning of the 4th century it was a luxurious manor house, spa, olive oil and wine presses and agricultural facilities, revealing the lifestyle of a family of high social and political status. This complex includes a temple which was Christianised in the 6th century and used as a cemetery during the Islamic period until the 10th century, which has been preserved until the vaults were torn down. Archaeological finds include mosaics with a predominantly marine theme, marbles and various ceramics, painted stucco and sculptures which decorated the interiors and gardens.
