The complete site

In the residential area there is also an atrium with a central impluvium of masonry. There are also other rooms and a rectangular peristyle. Slate has been used in the construction of the villa.

Both the atrium area and the various rooms were paved with geometrically decorated mosaics from the 2nd and 3rd centuries.  As for the polychrome mosaics, ornamental themes typical of the 4th century are identified.

The subsoil of the Roman villa of Torrox

Also in the basement of the villa is located a double gallery vault like a cistern. Another noteworthy element is the presence of a structure on the western side of the façade that could be interpreted as a fountain.

Of the remains that make up the villa’s decorative system, a marble hermes of the “Macedonian Kings” type stands out. And also a bronze representing Minerva with peplo crossed by the strophium. In addition to other statues such as that of a bronze lion that presents abundant and curly manes, as well as open jaws with a small opening.

Other buildings in the Roman villa of Torrox

After the construction of the villa, some balnea were built at the end of the 1st century AD. Several service rooms, two caldaria, one laconicum and two tepidaria with a warm water swimming pool have been distinguished, forming part of these baths.
