The excavations carried out at the Roman villa of Fuente Álamo since 1982 have brought to light an archaeological complex that initially appears to have been a balneum, probably abandoned in the middle of the 2nd century, and rebuilt in the second half of the 3rd century into an enormous villa, albeit of a less luxurious type.
A century later, the villa was extensively renovated and room no. 10 has been interpreted as a possible mithraeum.
