The Roman villa of Els Ametllers or Villa Vitalis is one of the most important Roman archaeological sites in northeastern Catalonia. Excavated in several phases between 1914 and 2006, today we know almost all of the residential area (pars urbana) and a sector of the agricultural work areas (pars rustica).

Located on the sunny slope of Can Magí hill, the residential part of the villa, on the upper terrace, includes rooms paved with beautiful mosaic floors. Identified spaces include summer and winter dining rooms, reception areas for visitors, private rooms, kitchens, baths with hot, warm and cold pools, a sophisticated hydraulic and water circulation system, and two monumentalized gardens.

On the lower terrace, there are areas dedicated to agricultural work and storage, including several tanks and four wine pressing rooms.

The villa was in use between the 1st century BC and the 5th century AD, and it was the origin of the future Tossa. It is recommended to visit the Tossa Museum to see one of the recovered mosaics, which includes the name of the settlement (Turissa), which gave rise to the modern name Tossa, as well as other artifacts found in the villa.
