Villa

A villa was originally an ancient Roman upper-class country house. Since its origins in the Roman villa, the idea and function of a villa have evolved considerably. After the fall of the Roman Republic, villas became small farming compounds, which were increasingly fortified in Late Antiquity, sometimes transferred to the Church for reuse as a monastery. Then they gradually re-evolved through the Middle Ages, into elegant upper-class country homes. In modern parlance 'villa' can refer to various types and sizes of residences, ranging from the suburban "semi-detached" double villa to residences in the wildland–urban interface.

Villa!! is a 1958 American Western film directed by James B. Clark and written by Louis Vittes. The film stars Brian Keith, Cesar Romero, Margia Dean, Rodolfo Hoyos Jr., Carlos Múzquiz and Mario Navarro. The film was released in October 1958, by 20th Century Fox.

Eine Villa (lat. ‚Landhaus, Landgut‘) bezeichnete ursprünglich ein römisches Landhaus und Herrenhaus des Landeigentümers. Auch in der Renaissance war die Villa ein repräsentativer Landsitz der herrschenden Schichten.
