This house takes its name from the mosaic of the central hall that was made by the master Hippolytus as it consists in the mosaic itself. It is a recreational house where you can see the different rooms that make it up perfectly. The deposit is roofed and conditioned with walkways for better visualization. It is located on the outskirts of the Roman city of Complutum and was part of a group of buildings and gardens of the Anglian family of Complutense, including the funeral mausoleum of that family, discovered in 1881 and now disappeared.
