Curiosity · Urrea de Gaén, Bajo Martín, Teruel

Image of Urrea de Gaén, not of the place itself.

Site of a Roman villa in the middle Ebro valley, continuously occupied between the 1st and 5th centuries, associated with the Museo de Teruel. In the late 3rd or early 4th century it underwent a very intense remodelling that profoundly altered its original layout, which makes its earliest plan difficult to know today. The villa had an economic function centred on the production of oil and wine, being the foremost example of this activity in the whole middle Ebro valley and one of the four or five best complexes of this type on the entire peninsula. Proof of this is its large pressing complex, of around 300 square metres in area.
