Inside An Ancient ROMAN TEMPLE In Portugal 🇵🇹 | Exploring The Roman Ruins Of Milreu |

Situated 900m west of Estói, these Roman villa ruins are so large and grand that they were initially thought to have been a town. The villa, inhabited from the 1st century AD now lies in ruins. The highlight is the temple devoted to a water deity and the fish mosaics around a former central pool. At the entrance of the site lies a small museum with a scale model of the temple in its glory days. The ruins were discovered in 1877 by Portuguese archaeologist Estácio da Veiga. The late-19th-century excavations by da Veiga made it possible to unravel stunning mosaic works that were buried beneath the dwelling, as well as wine-processing facilities utilized by the ancient Romans. Now it is left for one to only imagine what went on here during its prime at the height of the Roman Empire.
