SERBIA ~ Felix Romuliana - Gamzigrad - UNESCO ~

...Views of a beautiful archeological site... this fortified palace of Emperor Galerius represents the best preserved work of Roman architecture in the whole territory of Serbia... located in a valley, protected by the surrounding hills... the remains of the luxurious Imperial Roman Place offers you a glimpse of the once magnificent and truly authentic Roman palace... with impressive ruins and unique collection of archeological artefacts... in total, within the palace walls, there are the remains of 20 circular towers and two gates, thermal baths, memorial complex, a number of temples with mosaic floors (only a couple visible on the site), the best ones are in the local museum... with nice matching UNESCO stamp👍... Thanks a lot Vladimir!【ツ】 

Gamzigrad archaeological site is located south of the Danube river, near the city of Zaječar in Eastern Siberia. The main area covers 10 acres.

Roman Emperior Galerius Maximianus built this imperial palace on the land of Gamzigrad, near the  town Zajecar. This place has been built in the 3th and 4th century in name of himself and in honour of his mother Romuli, after who this place was named. Today, it is known that Galerius and his mother Romula were buried near Felix Romuliana palace, at “Magura” site, where archaeologists discovered two richly decorated masonry tombs and two mounds with bonfires where burning and apotheosis of the emperor and his mother took place.This imperial complex has been discovered in 1953.

In 2007, this site was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
