Roman Villa

Local name: Rimska vila

Roman Villa is one of the many Roman villas that have been built in Istria since the conquest of these lands by the Roman Empire in the middle of the 2nd century BC. The villa in Pula was built in the 1st century for the senatorial family of Laecania. It is one of three, next to the property in Pompeii and on the island of Capri, the largest and most luxurious villas in the Roman Empire.

At the time of creation, the Roman Villa complex included several residential and representative buildings, libraries, terraces and extensive gardens. In addition, the temples of Neptune, Venus and the Capitoline Trinity (Jupiter, Juno and Minerva), as well as the bar (room for exercise before or after a hot bath) and baths were built. The whole complex covered an area of about six hectares. Some buildings were used until the sixth century AD

The symbol of wealth are mosaics and wall paintings that decorate living quarters. He connected all the property's buildings along the coast with a system of partially roofed promenades that stretched over a kilometer in length.
