Domus Mitreo
About This Museum
People come to the Domus Mitreo not just for history, but to walk through a real Roman house, feeling the worn stone underfoot and imagining life two thousand years ago. The star of the show is the stunning mosaic of Oceanus, his beard flowing with sea creatures, perfectly preserved in what was once a wealthy family's reception room. Beyond the domus walls lie the quiet ruins of a temple dedicated to the god Mithras, hinting at the spiritual life that pulsed through this place. It’s an incredibly intimate experience that connects you directly to Lugo's ancient past.
