The local Government of Castilla-La Mancha, in Spain, announced it will
soon open for visitors  at least part of the excavations of the Villa de
Noheda, in the tiny town of Villar de Domingo García (218 souls), in Cuenca.
The triclinium of this huge Roman Villa of the 4th century, measuring 291
square meters, was (is) adorned by what is called the largest figurative
Roman mosaic. A (rather silly) press news (in Spanish) here:
