The Roman villa of Parets-Delgades is located next to the gothic hermitage of the same name, in the municipal area of La Selva del Camp.

The remains of the ancient site were discovered in the kitchen garden and patio area when work was started on a new building for the residents of the hermitage.

Several rooms with mosaic floors, joined by a long corridor, were also uncovered. Studying these mosaics we can see a series of motifs common in 4th century provinces with connections to the mosaic workshops of North Africa.

The workshop or craftsman who oversaw the creation of the floors of this villa would probably have come from the mosaic factories of Carthage or its area.

Such craftsmen were itinerant and travelled to wherever the wealthy villa owners required, as in this case.
