Villa Rustica is a 5,600-square-metre Roman-era villa, one of the most significant archaeological finds from the ancient province of Pannonia. It lies within the open-air ethnographic museum (skanzen) in Szentendre and is largely excavated and open for visitors to explore.

The site sits in a peaceful setting along the Sztaravoda stream at 178 m above sea level, close to the Szabadság spring. In Roman times, a road leading through the Pilis mountains to the Danube valley passed right by the estate. Walking among the uncovered foundations, you can picture the scale of this once-grand estate with 52 rooms, heated living quarters with marble mosaic floors, a large bathhouse, and walls and ceilings once covered in frescoes. The atmosphere is calm and contemplative, especially outside peak visiting hours when the museum grounds are quieter.

• Szentendre, Open-Air Ethnographic Museum (Szabadtéri Néprajzi Múzeum) — museum grounds, easy walking route within the skanzen
• About 4.5 km from the Roman fort in Szentendre — reachable on foot as part of a museum visit

• At the time of discovery, it was the largest building of its kind in Hungary — measuring 67×78 metres with 52 rooms
• Discovered during preparations for the museum's construction, excavated 1973-1975 under Dr. Judit Topál
• Around 1,500 artefacts were found, including a set of Trier wine vessels and clay models of towers

Interestingly, the villa was not destroyed by fire — its ruins survived only to gradually succumb to weather and time, making it a rare and detailed window into everyday life in Roman Pannonia.
