Schedule and prices to visit the Roman Villa of Antequera, a gem with the largest geometric mosaic in Spain

Archaeology enthusiasts are in for a treat in Málaga this week. The Villa Romana de la Estación, in Antequera, is opening its doors to the public. It is one of the most important suburban archaeological complexes on the Iberian Peninsula with the largest geometric mosaic in Spain (the mosaic of Erotes, restored in 2002). The mayor of Antequera, Manolo Barón; the deputy mayor for Tourism and Commerce, Ana Cebrián; and the councilor for Culture and Historical Heritage, José Medina Galeote, spoke this Tuesday about the launch of a stable program of visits.

These visits, managed through the Middle Cities Foundation of Central Andalusia, will be organized with specialized guides and content based on the work of the municipal archaeological team, thus offering a rigorous and quality experience. The mayor highlighted that "Antequera adds another top-level heritage space to the cultural and tourist offerings of the city, now with a stable schedule so that both locals and visitors can explore it in depth."

Cebrián recalled that during the Moonlight programs in 2024 and 2025, night passes were already offered that gathered around 280 visitors, "which demonstrates the great anticipation and the need to take a step further with regular visits throughout the year." Medina, for his part, emphasized that the Roman Villa "constitutes a unique example of Roman splendor in the area", and that guided tours will allow a better understanding of the historical and heritage context of Roman Antequera.
