It is really built on the seashore, today it would probably even be considered squatting. The structure develops around an impluvium, a quadrangular tank for the collection of rainwater, located in the atrium. <strong>It is made up of 5 rooms<\/strong> , two decorated with marble slabs and 3 with mosaics, testifying to the wealth of the family who lived there. In a second wing of the villa there was a pure spa area which was probably built at a later time.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\"
