The Roman villa and mausoleum of Centcelles



Situated near the River Francolí, the Roman villa of Centcelles shows evidence of different phases of occupation (2nd century BC - 4th century AD). One of the villa's main rooms was converted into a mausoleum around the middle of the 4th century. It has a dome decorated with mosaics showing hunting scenes, stories from the Old and New Testaments, the four seasons and enthroned persons. This complex is a key element in our understanding of early Christian art.
