Archaeological Museum in Vega Baja by Mansilla + Tuñón

On the outskirts of Vega Baja, located north of the Castilian Toledo, there is a rich archaeological site dating back to the Roman period in the first century AD. Recent findings affirm the fact that the main city of the Western Roman area, Urbs Regia, must have been located here.
In mid-2010, a competition was held for an architectural center that, together with a research center, would help preserve and exhibit significant historical finds. The winning project by the Madrid duo Emilio Tuñón and Luis Mansilla features a series of small houses scattered throughout the historical area. The overall layout creates the impression of a naturally grown village structure.
