Its mosaics, baths and courtyards, and the temple that later rose among them, make it one of the most important Roman sites in the Algarve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Roman villa in the Algarve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The villa was occupied from the first to the fourth century AD, when it was a wealthy country estate with fine mosaics and its own baths. In later centuries a Christian temple was built within its walls, and the site was excavated from the nineteenth century onwards. A visitor centre explains the villa and its history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>The mosaics, with their scenes of fish and sea creatures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The baths and the peristyle of the villa.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The later temple and the remains of the Christian phase.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The visitor centre and the village of Estoi, with its palace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Visiting the ruins<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The site is at Estoi, in the municipality of Faro, in the Algarve.
