Roman villa of Santo André de Almoçageme

In Santo André de Almoçageme, Sintra, is located the westernmost villa of the Roman Empire with occupation from the second to the sixth centuries AD.

Excavations exposed a large area of the main house – pars urbana – in which several rooms with mosaic pavements exist north of the peristyle.

An area of the pars rustica was also excavated. It had been utilized for the production of ceramics, and on a later stage, after the oven and adjoining structures became derelict, at least two newborn children were buried there.
