Excursion to the Roman Villa of Salar

In this visit you will learn about the history and new findings of one of the most important Roman Villas of Granada, Andalusia and Spain.

Comparable to the great Sicilian villas.

From Granada we will depart to Salar, a municipality in the province which is 30 minutes away from the capital and where we will find the Roman Villa of Salar. This Villa is a fantastic example of Ancient heritage in Spain, comparable to the Villas of Sicily. A hidden treasure with a great history and monumental richness in its mosaics.

You will not only have time to get to know the Villa, but you will also have time to stroll around Salar, a village considered as one of the Magic Villages of Spain. The small village, its charm and its people, are a great place for tourists to wander around.

Every year in Salar the archaeological campaigns provide us with new discoveries and knowledge of the Roman domestic architecture, which due to its excellent degree of conservation and great interest awakened in the scholars of history, for its mosaics and the doubt of who inhabited this enclave for more than 6 centuries, make the whole visit a pleasure for those who know how to choose their excursions.

In Villa Romana de Salar and its interpretation centre we will find some temporary exhibitions, associated with great painters and great discoveries, or does Picasso not ring a bell? In Salar you can find examples of his work, but you can only discover this when you visit us.
