Insula Romana a Marsala
The Roman Insula of Capo Lylibeo in Marsala , inside the Archaeological Park of Lilibeo , is a Roman villa from the end of the 2nd century AD. The insula is nearby of the ancient decumano maximo, the main street from the Roman era, which started from the promontory of Capo Boeo and ran along what is now Via XI Maggio.
The insula is a luxurious house that consisted of numerous rooms arranged around a tetrastyle atrium and a large peristyle; on the left developed the thermal rooms, where the frigidarium and the caldarium are clearly visible, almost all decorated with polychrome mosaics with geometric motifs or figures. Warehouses, Phoenician-type elliptical cisterns, remains of walls and tombs of an early Christian necropolis have also emerged in the archaeological area.
