Roman Villa of Els Ametllers, Tossa de Mar

Tossa de Mar was colonized by the Romans, under the name of Turissa. Vila dels Ametllers (that is, Almond Villa), located in the mound of Sant Magi, very next to the center, is the best preserved roman zone and shows the remains of warehouses, oil and press, bedrooms and thermae. Therefore this ancient villa combined a work area with private rooms, clearly separated. We will find some beautifully crafted mosaics. Experts believe that this villa was occupied between the II BC and IV A.D centuries. The Municipal Museum of Tossa de Mar also preserves many of the findings from their excavations.

The tower was discovered and excavated in 1891.
