The Roman Villa of Almenara de Adaja-Puras, in the province of Valladolid, is one of them. Discovered and partially excavated in the first half of the 20th century, it was not until the beginning of the following century that it was completely excavated and, therefore, its decorative designs for floors and walls were uncovered.The most notable features are the good state of preservation of the mosaic floors -all of them are almost entirely preserved-, their distribution throughout the house, the presence of other types of flooring -opus signinum and mortar-, and also, the existence of a notable group of mural paintings, some of them preserved in situ, while others recovered from debris on pavements. Based on all these remains, the functionality of each room in the house is analysed in its entirety, taking into account the type of floor, the decorative content of the mosaics and the painted decoration of the walls. Finally, markings on the mosaics provide evidence of the internal circulation in the house.</p></abstract>

                            <p>Douro Havzası boyunca, İspanya’da, hem görkemli mimarileri hem de mozaiklerinin güzelliğiyle belgelenmiş çok sayıda dikkat çekici villa bulunmaktadır. Valladolid kenti sınırlarındaki Almenara de Adaja-Puras Roma Villası da bunlardan biridir. 20. yüzyılın ilk yarısında keşfedilip kısmen kazılan yapı, ancak bir sonraki yüzyılın başında tamamen kazılmış ve böylece hem zemin hem de duvarlardaki dekoratif tasarımlar açığa çıkarılmıştır.En dikkat çekici özellikler arasında, mozaik döşemelerin iyi korunmuş olması –hemen hepsi neredeyse bütünüyle günümüze ulaşmıştır–, ev içerisindeki dağılımları, başka tür döşemelerin varlığı (opus signinum ve harç), ayrıca dikkate değer bir duvar resmi grubunun bulunması sayılabilir; bunların bir kısmı yerinde (in situ) korunmuş, bir kısmı ise döşemeler üzerinde döküntülerden toplanarak kurtarılmıştır. Bu kalıntılardan yola çıkarak, her bir odanın işlevi; döşeme türü, mozaiklerin dekoratif içeriği ve duvarların boyalı süslemeleri birlikte değerlendirilerek bütüncül bir biçimde analiz edilmiştir. Son olarak mozaikler üzerindeki işaretler, ev içindeki dolaşım düzenine ilişkin kanıt sağlamaktadır.</p></trans-abstract>
