At the edge of Skala village, there are the remains of a Roman villa. According to the evidence, this villa was constructed in the 3rd century AD. The villa was discovered by accident in 1944 by the owner of the land. Once the home of a wealthy family, the villa gives a fascinating insight into Roman life as you wander across a short walkway around the six excavated rooms and outdoor courtyard. Discover the villa's well-preserved, colorful mosaics, which are now protected by glass. The mosaics are works of art, decorated with geometric motifs of special artistry, telling stories of animal sacrifice and attacks from wild beasts. In more detail, one of these mosaics depicts an altar with a sacrificial bull, while a man is about to attack it. Another mosaic shows the god Envy being attacked by four wild animals, a lion, a tiger, a panther and a leopard. The ancient site is open every day except Monday. You can visit the site free of charge.
