Museo Villa Romana de l'Albir

In the Open Air Museum of the Roman Villa of l'Albir, located in the privileged environment of Playa de l'Albir, you can learn first-hand about the ritual of bathing in thermal baths built more than fifteen hundred years ago. The visit begins in a small exhibition room where some of the pieces found at the site are shown, objects that, together with an introductory video, teach us aspects of the daily life of a noble family in a rural settlement during the last centuries of Roman times (IV and V A.D.). The tour continues visiting the archaeological remains of the town, of which for now the baths and the oecus, the room of the dominus, are open to the public. Finally, you can visit the mausoleum, a funerary building that contained the burials of an important family, possibly the owners of the villa. It is located on Ruperto Chapí Street, very close to the Museum. To better understand the site, you have at your disposal virtual reality glasses where you can watch a 360º short film that shows you, in a totally immersive way, what the town was like in 412 AD. In addition, you have at your disposal educational panels with texts in different languages accompanied by photographs, images and 3D reconstructions. The entire route is accessible, both for people with reduced mobility and with baby carriages. For groups of more than eight people, it is necessary to check the availability of the guided tour service and book in advance by email (museovillaromana@lalfas.com).
