Olmeda

General information

La Olmeda Roman Villa was discovered while doing some agricultural work in a land near Pedrosa de la Vega (Palencia), at the beginning of the summer in 1968. The tractor tripped over the remains of an ancient wall and that was the starting point of the archaeological research. The mystery was cleared up with the discovery of a splendid Late Roman palace: rooms, corridors, porches…, a whole complex whose peak, 1600 years ago, has found its way to the present by chance.
