Portugal, Milreu, East side of the Peristylum
Situated only a few kilometres from Faro, close to Estoi, Milreu Ruins are amongst the most important remains of the Roman presence in the Algarve and now form an imposing archaeological site, which has been classified as a national monument. What is to be found there today is the remains of a luxurious rural villa, transformed into a prosperous farm in the 3rd century. The ruins have been uncovered and they now present to us the remains of a manor house, farm buildings, a wine press, baths and a temple, a centre for private worship dedicated to the theme of the various water-based activities, which was built in the 4th century to satisfy the pleasures of the Romans. In addition to this, two mausoleums can be seen and a peristyle with 22 columns, alongside an open courtyard, with a garden and the respective water tank.
