Villa of Mosaics
Spello’s Villa of Mosaics, which came to light in 2005, is one of Umbria’s most extraordinary archaeological discoveries.
According to the studies carried out, the villa was built in two successive stages, during the Augustan and imperial ages.
One of a kind, the residence still retains fine mosaic floors and traces of frescoes and stucco on the walls. With a surface of 500 square meters, Spello’s Villa of Mosaics offers us ten rooms with amazing multi-coloured mosaic floors depicting human figures, scenes of daily life, wild and fantastic animals, geometric decorations, and stone carpets.
The various rooms are named after the subjects depicted in the floor decorations: the Bird Room, the Amphora Room, the Triclinium, the Radiant Sun Room, the Geometric Mosaic Room, the Shield Room, the Heated Room, and the Peristyle. The undecorated rooms in the villa were most likely service rooms.
