Villa romana de Río Verde
Villa romana de Río Verde is a Roman villa on the coast of Marbella, Spain, at the mouth of the Río Verde river. It represents the pars urbana of an affluent coastal villa, where its pars rustica would have been dedicated to marine exploitation and the salting of fish —a profitable activity pursued by many coastal settlements in the Baetic region, especially during the Roman era.| Tap on a place to explore it |
