Villa of Torre de Palma

The Villa Lusitano-Romana de Torre de Palma, sometimes Villa Cardillio or Vila Cardílio (not to be confused with the Villa Cardillio on Torres Novas) 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 Ibe

rian Peninsula. The prosperity of these latifundia in the region is often evidenced by shrines in the courtyard (such as in the Roman Villa of Milreu). In addition to the extensive living areas, a basilica and a seven-roomed baptistery have been uncovered in Torre de Palma.
