At the Finca del Secretary archaeological site there are the remains of an ancient Roman villa dating back to the 1st century AD. There you can admire the impressive mosaics and archaeological remains that offer a window into the region’s Roman past.

The archaeological remains found in them date back to the 1st century AD and reveal that the buildings were in operation until the 4th century AD.
