Dated between the 2nd and 4th centuries AD. C., consists of a building with fifteen rooms around a central patio. All of them have mosaics inside, mostly with geometric decoration. However, we find two rooms in which mythological characters are represented.
Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, this archaeological site has been known since the 19th century. XIX, when in 1861 the discovery of coins and other remains during the work on the road from Benavente to Mombuey was published. It was not until 2007 that the excavation began, with the museum opening in 2018.
