Vil·la romana de Centcelles

The domed building at the centre of this estate was raised as a funerary monument, and its mosaic decoration runs across the whole surface of the cupola. Catalan records name it the Mausoleu de Centcelles, and it is held by the national archaeological museum of Tarragona, which runs the site information. It was inscribed with the rest of the Tarraco ensemble in 2000.
