The Roman villa of Torre Llauder was discovered in 1961 by Marià Ribas i Bertran and his team. Shortly thereafter it was declared an Artistic Historical Monument of National Interest (currently an Asset of National Interest) because of its importance.
\ \Clos Archaeology at Torre Llauder conserves the remains of this site which can be visited, the noble quarters of a Roman villa with floors decorated with mosaic in the rooms, in the bath area with a path to the hot, warm and cold waters (caldarium, tepidarium and frigidarium) and two peristyles or courtyards.
\ \The villa, which belonged to the territory of the Roman city of Iluro (ancient Roman Mataró), was built during the reign of Augustus (1st century BC – 1st century AD), but its peak, when the mosaics were crafted, came in the 3rd century.
\ \The current archaeological work revolves around the excavation and documentation of the site and the conservation and restoration of the remains that can be visited.
