It is located near the owners' residence. The complex was built independently. It is rectangular in shape. Its dimensions are very large. The buildings, porticoes and corridors were built around a large courtyard. Kitchens, servants' quarters and all service personnel, food stores, workshops, and the residence of the villa manager were erected in the enclosed compound. The colonnades of porticoes were built around the inner courtyard, which ensured a calmer movement in heat and cold. These colonnades were made of soft grey-green tuff, unlike the marble colonnades in the central building. <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n The villa's water supply system<\/small>\n\nThe villa's plumbing installation. The water supply was a well planned and constructed system. It was developed according to the classical principles of Roman construction of similar facilities. The beginning of the aqueduct was about 2.0 - 3.0 km west of the central building. It was built as early as the foundation of the villa farm in the last quarter of the I century AD, when the ancient villa was founded. In the 1970s, a preserved part of the water pipe was discovered. It was found that the water flowed through clay pipes that were placed in stone troughs. From other similar aqueducts in ancient villa farms studied, it is known that \"revision shafts\" were made in places. They served to make it easier to detect damage or to clean the water supply. It supplied water to the owner's residence, the bathroom, and the pool in the peristyle. Fountains were built near the owners' residence and in the courtyard of the residential-craft complex. <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\n \"The Big Mound\" near the village of Svirachi<\/small>\n\n\"The Big Mound\" near the village of Svirachi. It is located 1.0 - 1.5 km in a straight line from the house of the owners of the villa, in a southern direction and to the village of Svirachi, Ivaylovgrad municipality. It was erected on the highest point, south of the Armira river. The mound is part of the family necropolis of the owners. It was prepared for the founder of the cottage farm or his direct heir. The lower part of the mound is lined with stepped blocks, and at the top there was a site of marble slabs. The central grave was discovered, which is of a young woman. From the objects found in the mound, the dating of the grave was determined in the first two decades of the II century AD. This is the grave of the woman, who was not represented on the portrait mosaic in Villa \u201cArmira\u201d. <\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
