Villa of Torre de Palma

The Villa Lusitano-Romana de Torre de Palma, sometimes Villa Cardillio or Vila Cardílio is a Roman villa near Monforte in Portugal, which was in Roman times part of the province of Lusitania. It is considered one of the largest in the Iberian Peninsula. The prosperity of these latifundia in the region is often evidenced by shrines in the courtyard. In addition to the extensive living areas, a basilica and a seven-roomed baptistery have been uncovered in Torre de Palma.
