The Mausoleum of Centcelles, located in Constantí in Catalonia, Spain, is an exceptional Roman monument. It houses the oldest mosaics of early Christian art, dating back to the 4th century AD. Despite ongoing research, the exact purpose of the mausoleum remains uncertain, with hypotheses suggesting it may have served as a mausoleum for a notable person in the ecclesiastical or civil hierarchy. The mausoleum is unique for its 4th-century mosaics, making it an architectural testament of the late-Roman period in Catalonia.
