About Domus do Mitreo

The Domus do Mitreo offers a rare insight into the religious practices of Roman Lugo. This archaeological site comprises the subterranean remains of a Roman house that incorporated a Mithraeum - a temple dedicated to the Persian deity Mithras - dating to the early 3rd century AD. The excavations revealed an extensive domus of approximately 600 square meters with various rooms including an oecus (great hall), cubiculum (bedroom), and the temple area. A granite votive altar dedicated to Mithras by a centurion of the Legio VII Gemina was found on site.
