    Hiking

    The House of the Mithraeum and the funerary area of Los Columbarios is a prominent archaeological site in Mérida. The House of the Mithraeum, built in the late 1st or early 2nd century, is known for its Cosmological Mosaic, which depicts the conception of the world and the forces of nature.
    The name “House of the Mithraeum” comes from its proximity to the remains of a possible temple dedicated to Mithras. The house is organized around three courtyards that provide light and ventilation. In addition, the funerary area of Los Columbarios includes Roman funerary structures.

    The Mithraeum House is an ancient Roman villa that belonged to a noble family. The well-preserved parts of this magnificent house were arranged around a large courtyard. Parts of the walls, decorated with frescoes and mosaics, and especially the floors, are still well preserved. The site is famous for its unique cosmological mosaic, an intricate depiction of the universe. The detailed depictions of the sky, the sun, and the signs of the zodiac testify to the advanced artistic and scientific knowledge of the Romans.
