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.
