This Roman Villa was occupied during the 4th century AD and is believed to be a summer resort of a wealthy family from Conímbriga.
During the numerous archaeological campaigns, which have taken place annually since the early 1980s, were identified different spaces, like: residential area, bathhouse, agricultural courtyard with porch and servants' quarters, warehouses and workshops
The beauty and complexity of the mosaics in this building form a new stylistic group.
All the archaeological remains collected at this local are on public display at the Villa Romana Museum Space, located in the centre of Rabaçal.

Aldeia de Montanha
From the birthplace of D. Jorge da Costa (Cardinal of Alpedrinha) - the man who (it is said) won the Pope's approval for the Treaty of Tordesillas (1494), which divided the riches of the globe between the Portuguese and the Castilians - one could not expect anything else: the people from Alpedrinha knew how to choose a special place for themselves.
