House of the Mitraeum

This house is known as “Casa del Mitreo” (House of the Mitraeum) due to its relation with the remains that found in the Bullring and are related to the worship to Mitra. It is located on the Southern slope of the hill San Albín and was built with masonry and with ashlars in the corners. The house has three courtyards, rooms for its inhabitants, commercial or industrial rooms, gardens and springs.

The rest of the rooms are distributed around the peristyles or courtyards with portico with interior garden. They are decorated with mosaics and murals of great quality, such as the Cosmologic Mosaic which represent the allegory to the natural elements (Sky, Earth and Sea) and the figure of Aion (eternity) dominates it.
