The Roman Villa of Veranes, also known as Torrexón de San Pedro is located in Gijón, near the ancient Roman road that in the past connected these territories with the capital, Asturica Augusta (Astorga). The villa museum is part of the Gijón Archaeological Museums together with the Campo Valdés Roman Baths Museum and the Campa Torres Archaeological-Natural Park. The archaeological remains found and preserved here belong to what was a larger settlement built in the Lower Empire (4th century AD) on the ruins of a high imperial rustic settlement of considerable importance. Today the archaeological itinerary is organized in four terraces that cover a total area of about one hectare.

The exhibition room also includes archaeological objects that tell the history of the site from the Roman period to the end of the Middle Ages and are grouped by different themes: the villa in the High Empire, with examples of typically Roman pottery and funerary inscriptions; the great late Roman city with objects related to the country's economic activities such as agricultural, livestock and craft (carpentry and textile) and metallurgical activities. Coins and imported objects show the trade of Veranes in the merchant circuits of the late Roman period. Beliefs, free time and daily life: objects of ornament and personal hygiene (rings, modeling needles, brooches, buckles and fibulae, beads for necklaces), materials for writing, games and hunting, and finally elements related to the architecture of the city, especially the iron ones.
