Commugny

Mural splendors of a Roman villa

The remains of Commugny’s Roman villa lie buried beneath the village cemetery, parish church and church. It is one of the large, multi-purpose rural settlements that provided essential economic activities in ancient times: agriculture and livestock breeding, often complemented by handicrafts. However, the Commugny villa is a particularly sumptuous example, as demonstrated by the wall paintings on display in the permanent exhibition.
