Roman villa of C.da Durrueli
The site concerns an area near the beach where there are conspicuous remains of a Roman villa. The old building is separated from the beach by a large concrete conglomerate wall and has been cut off to the north by the old railway line. In the sector already in light, south of the railway line, there are remains of the representative rooms of the villa, distributed around a peristyle-garden with five Doric columns on each side with a semicircular basin in the center covered with marble slabs and paved in opus tessellatum. The floor of the other rooms was
paved with mosaics with geometric and figurative decoration (the god Poseidon with trident and dolphins). To the east of the villa there is a modest necropolis where burials in earthen pits, probably contemporary, have been found.
